Psalm 66

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