Psalm 66 - New International Version, 2011 bible

Psalm 66

¹For the director of music. A song. A psalm. [1] Shout for joy to God, all the earth!

²Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious.

³Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.

⁴All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing the praises of your name.” [120]

⁵Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind!

⁶He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot — come, let us rejoice in him.

⁷He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations — let not the rebellious rise up against him.

⁸Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;

⁹he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.

¹⁰For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver.

¹¹You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.

¹²You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.

¹³I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you —

¹⁴vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.

¹⁵I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats.

¹⁶Come and hear, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.

¹⁷I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.

¹⁸If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;

¹⁹but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer.

²⁰Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
