Psalm 66 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Praise for God’s Mighty Deeds and for His Answer to Prayer.

Psa 66:1

For the music director. A Song. A Psalm.

Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

Psa 66:2

Sing the glory of His name;

Make His praise glorious.

Psa 66:3

Say to God, “How awesome are Your works!

Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will pretend to obey You.

Psa 66:4

“All the earth will worship You,

And will sing praises to You;

They will sing praises to Your name.” Selah

Psa 66:5

Come and see the works of God,

Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of mankind.

Psa 66:6

He turned the sea into dry land;

They passed through the river on foot;

Let’s rejoice there, in Him!

Psa 66:7

He rules by His might forever;

His eyes keep watch on the nations;

The rebellious shall not exalt themselves! Selah

Psa 66:8

Bless our God, you peoples,

And [fn]sound His praise abroad,

Psa 66:9

Who [fn]keeps us in life,

And does not allow our feet to [fn]slip.

Psa 66:10

For You have put us to the test, God;

You have refined us as silver is refined.

Psa 66:11

You brought us into the net;

You laid an oppressive burden upon [fn]us.

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 animals,

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 tell of what He has done for my soul.

Psa 66:17

I cried to Him with my mouth,

And [fn]He was exalted with my tongue.

Psa 66:18

If I [fn]regard wickedness in my heart,

The Lord will not hear;

Psa 66:19

But God has heard;

He has given attention to the sound of my prayer.

Psa 66:20

Blessed be God,

Who has not turned away my prayer

Nor His favor from me.

NASB20 Footnotes
Lit cause to hear the sound of His praise
Lit puts our soul in life
Or dodder, stumble
Lit our loins
Or cattle
Or revere
Or praise was under my tongue
Or had regarded
