psalms 66

1 - Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!

2 - Sing to the glory of his name!Offer glory and praise!

3 - Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds!Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.

4 - All the earth will worship you,and will sing to you;they will sing to your name."Selah.

5 - Come, and see God's deeds-awesome work on behalf of the children of men.

6 - He turned the sea into dry land.They went through the river on foot.There, we rejoiced in him.

7 - He rules by his might forever.His eyes watch the nations.Don't let the rebellious rise up against him.Selah.

8 - Praise our God, you peoples!Make the sound of his praise heard,

9 - who preserves our life among the living,and doesn't allow our feet to be moved.

10 - For you, God, have tested us.You have refined us, as silver is refined.

11 - You brought us into prison.You laid a burden on our backs.

12 - You allowed men to ride over our heads.We went through fire and through water,but you brought us to the place of abundance.

13 - I will come into your temple with burnt offerings.I will pay my vows to you,

14 - which my lips promised,and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.

15 - I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals,with the offering of rams,I will offer bulls with goats.Selah.

16 - Come, and hear, all you who fear God.I will declare what he has done for my soul.

17 - I cried to him with my mouth.He was extolled with my tongue.

18 - If I cherished sin in my heart,the Lord wouldn't have listened.

19 - But most certainly, God has listened.He has heard the voice of my prayer.

20 - Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer,nor his loving kindness from me.
