| 66:1 |
Shout with joy to God, all the earth! |
| 66:2 |
Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious! |
| 66:3 |
Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. |
| 66:4 |
All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name." Selah |
| 66:5 |
Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf! |
| 66:6 |
He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot--come, let us rejoice in him. |
| 66:7 |
He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations--let not the rebellious rise up against him. Selah |
| 66:8 |
Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; |
| 66:9 |
he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping. |
| 66:10 |
For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. |
| 66:11 |
You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. |
| 66:12 |
You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance. |
| 66:13 |
I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you-- |
| 66:14 |
vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble. |
| 66:15 |
I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah |
| 66:16 |
Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. |
| 66:17 |
I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue. |
| 66:18 |
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; |
| 66:19 |
but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. |
| 66:20 |
Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! |
