Psalm 66 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Praise for God's Mighty Deeds and for his Answer to Prayer.

Psa 66:1
For the Chief Musician. A song, a Psalm.
Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:
Psa 66:2
Sing forth the glory of his name:
Make his praise glorious.
Psa 66:3
Say unto God, How terrible are thy works!
Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
Psa 66:4
All the earth shall worship thee,
And shall sing unto thee;
They shall sing to thy name.
[Selah
Psa 66:5
Come, and see the works of God;
He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
Psa 66:6
He turned the sea into dry land;
They went through the river on foot:
There did we rejoice in him.
Psa 66:7
He ruleth by his might for ever;
His eyes observe the nations:
Let not the rebellious exalt themselves.
[Selah
Psa 66:8
Oh bless our God, ye peoples,
And make the voice of his praise to be heard;
Psa 66:9
Who holdeth our soul in life,
And suffereth not our feet to be moved.
Psa 66:10
For thou, O God, hast proved us:
Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
Psa 66:11
Thou broughtest us into the net;
Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.
Psa 66:12
Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
Psa 66:13
I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings;
I will pay thee my vows,
Psa 66:14
Which my lips uttered,
And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.
Psa 66:15
I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,
With the incense of rams;
I will offer bullocks with goats.
[Selah
Psa 66:16
Come, and hear, all ye that fear God,
And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
Psa 66:17
I cried unto him with my mouth,
And he was extolled with my tongue.
Psa 66:18
If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear:
Psa 66:19
But verily God hath heard;
He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
Psa 66:20
Blessed be God,
Who hath not turned away my prayer,
Nor his lovingkindness from me.
