Psalm 66

Praise for God's Mighty Acts

For the choir director. A song. A psalm.

1 Shout joyfully to God, all the earth!(a)
2 Sing about the glory of His name;
make His praise glorious.(b)
3 Say to God, "How awe-inspiring are Your works!
Your enemies will cringe before You
because of Your great strength.(c)
4 All the earth will worship You
and sing praise to You.
They will sing praise to Your name."(d)Selah

5 Come and see the wonders of God;(e)
His acts for humanity are awe-inspiring.
6 He turned the sea into dry land,
and they crossed the river on foot.(f)
There we rejoiced in Him.(g)
7 He rules forever by His might;
He keeps His eye on the nations.(h)
The rebellious should not exalt themselves.(i)Selah
8 Praise our God, you peoples;
let the sound of His praise be heard.(j)
9 He keeps us alive[a]
and does not allow our feet to slip.(k)

10 For You, God, tested us;
You refined us as silver is refined.(l)
11 You lured us into a trap;
You placed burdens on our backs.(m)
12 You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but You brought us out to abundance.[b](n)

13 I will enter Your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay You my vows(o)
14 that my lips promised
and my mouth spoke during my distress.(p)
15 I will offer You fattened sheep as burnt offerings,
with the fragrant smoke of rams;
I will sacrifice oxen with goats.(q)Selah

16 Come and listen, all who fear God,
and I will tell what He has done for me.(r)
17 I cried out to Him with my mouth,
and praise was on my tongue.(s)
18 If I had been aware of malice in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.(t)
19 However, God has listened;
He has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.(u)
20 May God be praised!
He has not turned away my prayer
or turned His faithful love from me.(v)
