Psalms 66
|
| For the Chief Musician. A song, a Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth: | To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm. Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth: |
| Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious. | Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him. |
| Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. | Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet. |
| All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. Selah | Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah.) |
| Come, and see the works of God; [He is] terrible in his doing toward the children of men. | Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men. |
| He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him. | The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him. |
| He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah | He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah.) |
| Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard; | Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud; |
| Who holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved. | Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved. |
| For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. | For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver. |
| Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins. | You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs. |
| 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. | You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place. |
| I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows, | I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you, |
| Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress. | Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble. |
| I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah | I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah.) |
| Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul. | Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul. |
| I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue. | My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld. |
| If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear: | I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me: |
| But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer. | But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer. |
| Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me. | Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me. |
