Psalm 66 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Come and See the Works of God

Psa 66:1

For the choir director. A Song. A Psalm.

Make a loud shout to God, all the earth;

Psa 66:2

Sing praise for the glory of His name;

Establish His praise as glorious.

Psa 66:3

Say to God, “How [fn]fearsome are Your works!

Because of the abundance of Your strength Your enemies will [fn]cower before You.

Psa 66:4

“All the earth will worship You,

And will sing praises to You;

They will sing praises to Your name.” [fn]Selah.

Psa 66:5

Come and see the works of God,

Who is fearsome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

Psa 66:6

He turned the sea into dry land;

They passed through the river on foot;

There let us be glad in Him!

Psa 66:7

He rules by His might forever;

His eyes keep watch on the nations;

Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

Psa 66:8

Bless our God, O peoples,

And [fn]make the sound of His praise heard,

Psa 66:9

Who [fn]establishes us among the living

And does not allow our feet to stumble.

Psa 66:10

For You have tested us, O God;

You have refined us as silver is refined.

Psa 66:11

You brought us into the net;

You established an oppressive burden upon our loins.

Psa 66:12

You made men ride over our heads;

We went through fire and through water,

Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.

Psa 66:13

I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings;

I shall pay You my vows,

Psa 66:14

Which my lips uttered

And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.

Psa 66:15

I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts,

With the smoke of rams;

I shall make an offering of [fn]bulls with male goats. Selah.

Psa 66:16

Come and hear, all who [fn]fear God,

And I will recount what He has done for my soul.

Psa 66:17

I called out to Him with my mouth,

And [fn]He was exalted with my tongue.

Psa 66:18

If I [fn]see wickedness in my heart,

The Lord [fn]will not [fn]hear;

Psa 66:19

But certainly God has heard;

He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

Psa 66:20

Blessed be God,

Who has not turned away my prayer

Nor His lovingkindness from me.
