Psalms 66

1 David exhorteth to praise God, 5 to observe his great works, 8 to bless him for his gracious benefits. 12 He voweth for himself religious service to God. 16 He declareth God's special goodness to himself.

 66:1 ¶ [[To the Chief Musician. A Melodious Song.]] Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth;

 66:2 Praise ye in song the glory of his Name, Celebrate the glory of his praise:

 66:3 Say unto God—How fearful in thy doings, Through the abounding of thy power, shall thy foes come cringing unto thee;

 66:4 All the earth, shall bow themselves down to thee, And sing praises unto thee, Shall praise in song thy Name. [Selah.]

 66:5 Come and see the doings of God,—Fearful in deed toward the sons of men:

 66:6 He turned the sea into dry land, Through the stream, crossed they over on foot, There did we rejoice in him:

 66:7 Who ruleth, in his might, unto times age abiding, His eyes, over the nations, keep watch, The rebellious, let them not exalt themselves. [Selah.]

 66:8 ¶ Bless our God, O ye peoples, And cause to be heard, the sound of his praise;—

 66:9 Who hath set our soul among the living, And hath not suffered, our foot, to slip.

 66:10 For thou didst prove us, O God, Thou didst refine us, according to the refining of silver:

 66:11 Thou didst bring us into the hunter's net, Thou didst lay a load upon our loins;

 66:12 Thou didst let men ride at our head; We went into fire and into water, But thou didst bring us forth into freedom.

 66:13 ¶ I will enter thy house with ascending-sacrifices, I will pay unto thee my vows,

 66:14 Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, in my distress.

 66:15 Ascending-sacrifices of fatlings, will I cause to ascend unto thee, With the perfume of rams, I will offer bulls, with he-goats. [Selah.]

 66:16 Come! hearken—that I may recount, all ye reverers of God, What he hath done for my soul:—

 66:17 Unto him—with my mouth, did I cry, And high praise was under my tongue.

 66:18 If, iniquity, I had cared for in my heart, My Lord, had not heard me!

 66:19 But in truth, God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

 66:20 Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his own lovingkindness from me.
