Psalm 66 | English Standard Version

How Awesome Are Your Deeds

1 To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm. Shout for joy to God, all the earth; 2 sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! 3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. 4 All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” 5 Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man. 6 He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him, 7 who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations— let not the rebellious exalt themselves. 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. 10 For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. 11 You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs; 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. 13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will perform my vows to you, 14 that which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble. 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. 16 Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul. 17 I cried to him with my mouth, and high praise was on* my tongue.* 18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. 19 But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!

Bénédictions après l'épreuve

1 Au chef de chœur. Chant, psaume. Poussez vers Dieu des cris de joie, vous, tous les habitants de la terre! 2 Chantez la gloire de son nom, célébrez sa gloire par vos louanges! 3 Dites à Dieu: «Que ta manière d'agir est redoutable! A cause de la grandeur de ta force, tes ennemis te flattent. 4 Toute la terre t'adore et chante en ton honneur, elle chante ton nom.» – Pause. 5 Venez voir ce que Dieu a fait! Il est redoutable quand il agit envers les hommes. 6 Il a changé la mer en terre ferme: on a traversé le fleuve à pied; alors nous nous sommes réjouis en lui. 7 Il domine éternellement par sa puissance; ses yeux observent les nations: que les rebelles ne fassent pas les fiers! – Pause. 8 Peuples, bénissez notre Dieu, faites retentir sa louange! 9 Il nous a conservé la vie, et il n'a pas permis que notre pied trébuche. 10 En effet, tu nous as mis à l'épreuve, ô Dieu, tu nous as purifiés au creuset comme l'argent. 11 Tu nous as amenés dans un piège, tu as mis sur nos reins un fardeau pesant, 12 tu as fait monter des hommes sur notre tête; nous avons traversé le feu et l'eau, mais tu nous en as tirés pour nous donner l'abondance. 13 J'irai dans ta maison avec des holocaustes, j'accomplirai mes vœux envers toi: 14 mes lèvres se sont ouvertes pour les exprimer, ma bouche les a prononcés quand j'étais dans la détresse. 15 Je t'offrirai des bêtes grasses en holocauste, des béliers avec de l'encens; je sacrifierai des taureaux avec des boucs. – Pause. 16 Venez, écoutez, vous tous qui craignez Dieu, et je raconterai ce qu'il a fait pour moi. 17 J'ai crié à lui de ma bouche, et ma langue a célébré sa louange. 18 Si j'avais eu l'injustice en vue dans mon cœur, le Seigneur ne m'aurait pas exaucé, 19 mais Dieu m'a exaucé, il a été attentif à ma prière. 20 Béni soit Dieu, car il n'a pas rejeté ma prière, il ne m'a pas retiré sa bonté!
