Psalms 66
How Awesome Are Your Deeds
To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.
1 a Shout for joy to God, all the earth;2 sing the glory of his name;
b give to him glorious praise!
3 Say to God c “How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power that your enemies d come cringing to you.
4 e All the earth worships you
and sings praises to you;
they sing praises to your name.” Selah
5 f Come and see what God has done:
g he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
6 He h turned the sea into dry land;
they i passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
7 who rules by his might forever,
whose j eyes keep watch on the nations—
let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8 Bless our God, O peoples;
let the sound of his praise be heard,
9 who has kept our soul among the living
and k has not let our feet slip.
10 For you, O God, have l tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.
11 You brought us into m the net;
you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
12 you let men n ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through o water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.
13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
I will p perform my vows to you,
14 that which my lips uttered
and my mouth promised q when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,
with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah
16 r Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth,
and high praise was on ▼
▼
Hebrew under
my tongue.
▼
▼
Or and he was exalted with my tongue
18 If I had u cherished iniquity in my heart,
v the Lord would not have listened.
19 But truly w God has listened;
he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God,
because he has not rejected my prayer
or removed his steadfast love from me!
