Psalm - 66

picture

1 S hout aloud unto God, all the earth:

2 S ing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;

3 S ay unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.

4 A ll the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. Selah.

5 C ome and see the works of God: he is terrible in doings toward the children of men.

6 H e turned the sea into dry; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

7 H e ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

8 B less our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

9 W ho hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

10 F or thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

11 T hou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;

12 T hou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.

13 I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,

14 W hich my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

16 C ome, hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17 I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

18 H ad I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.

19 B ut God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 B lessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!
