66:1 Shout with joy to God, all the earth!
66:2 Sing the glory of his name make his praise glorious!
66:3 Say to God, How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.
66:4 All the earth bows down to you they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name. Selah
66:5 Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works on man’s behalf!
66:6 He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot come, let us rejoice in him.
66:7 He rules for ever by his power, his eyes watch the nations let not the rebellious rise up against him. Selah
66:8 Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard
66:9 he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.
66:10 For you, O God, tested us you refined us like silver.
66:11 You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.
66:12 You let men ride over our heads we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.
66:13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfil my vows to you
66:14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.
66:15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams I will offer bulls and goats. Selah
66:16 Come and listen, all you who fear God let me tell you what he has done for me.
66:17 I cried out to him with my mouth his praise was on my tongue.
66:18 If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened
66:19 but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.
66:20 Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! 132267 FOR THE DIRECTOR OF MUSIC. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM. A SONG.
