66:1 Shout joyfully to God, all the earth; |
66:2 Sing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious. |
66:3 Say to God, "How awesome we regard Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will give feigned obedience to You. |
66:4 " All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You;They will sing praises to Your name." Selah. |
66:5 Come and see the works of God, Who we regard as awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men. |
66:6 He turned the sea into dry land; They passed through the river on foot; There let us rejoice in Him! |
66:7 He rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. |
66:8 Bless our God, O peoples, And sound His praise abroad, |
66:9 Who keeps us in life And does not allow our feet to slip. |
66:10 For You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as we refine silver . |
66:11 You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins. |
66:12 You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water, Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance. |
66:13 I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows, |
66:14 Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I fell into distress. |
66:15 I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts, With the smoke of rams; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats. Selah. |
66:16 Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul. |
66:17 I cried to Him with my mouth, And I extolled Him with my tongue. |
66:18 If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear; |
66:19 But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. |
66:20 We blessed God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me. |
