Psalms 66

VIN(i) 1 For the music director. A song. A psalm. Shout joyfully to God, all the earth. 2 Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious; 3 Say to God: "How awesome are your works! Because of your great strength your enemies cringe before you." 4 All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah. 5 Come, and see the works of God, awesome in actions toward the sons of men. 6 He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot; there let us rejoice 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 He gives us life and does not permit our feet to slip. 10 For you, God, tested us, to purify us like fine silver. 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 to your house with burnt offerings. I will fulfill my vows to you 14 which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress. 15 I will offer burnt sacrifices of fatlings to You, with the incense of rams; I will offer bulls with goats. Selah. 16 Come and listen, all of you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me. 17 I cried to Him with my mouth, and exalted Him with my tongue. 18 If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened. 19 But God hath heard me; and considered the voice of my prayer. 20 Thanks be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or taken away his loving kindness from me.
