Psalm 66

English Standard Version

from Crossway
1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth; (Ps 81:1; Ps 95:1; Ps 98:4; Ps 100:1) 2 sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! (Jos 7:19; Isa 42:12) 3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. (Ps 18:44; Ps 65:5) 4 All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” Selah (Ps 22:27) 5 Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man. (Ps 3:1; Ps 46:8; Ps 66:16) 6 He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him, (Ex 14:21; Jos 3:14; Ps 74:15) 7 who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations— let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah (Ps 11:4) 8 Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard, 9 who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip. (Ps 121:3) 10 For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. (Job 23:10) 11 You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs; (La 1:13; Eze 12:13) 12 you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance. (Isa 43:2; Isa 51:23) 13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will perform my vows to you, (Ps 50:14) 14 that which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble. (Ps 18:6) 15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals, with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams; I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah 16 Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul. (Ps 34:11; Ps 66:5) 17 I cried to him with my mouth, and high praise was on[1] my tongue.[2] 18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. (Job 27:9; Job 36:21; Pr 28:9; Isa 59:2; Joh 9:31; Jas 4:3) 19 But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. (Ps 116:1; Ps 116:2) 20 Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!

Psalm 66

King James Version

1 To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: 2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. 3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. 4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. 5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. 6 He turned the sea into dry land : they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. 7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. 8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: 9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. 10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. 11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. 12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place . 13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, 14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. 15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. 16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. 17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. 18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me : 19 But verily God hath heard me ; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
