Psalm 66

For the director of music. A song. A psalm.

1 Shout for 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 the praises of your name.”[fn]

5 Come and see what God has done,

his awesome deeds for mankind!

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.

8 Praise our God, all peoples,

let the sound of his praise be heard;

9 he has preserved our lives

and kept our feet from slipping.

10 For you, God, tested us;

you refined us like silver.

11 You brought us into prison

and laid burdens on our backs.

12 You let people 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.

16 Come and hear, 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 has heard my prayer.

20 Praise be to God,

who has not rejected my prayer

or withheld his love from me!
