Psalm 66

26 Psalms 66
¹Make a joyful noise to God, all lands.
²Sing the honor of his name; sing the honor of his majesty.
³Say to God, How wonderful are your works. Through the greatness of your power, your enemies will submit themselves to you.
⁴All the land will worship you, and will sing to your name; they will glorify your name forever.

⁵They will say, Come and see the works of God; for his wonders are great toward the children of men.
⁶He turns the sea into dry land: they crossed through the river on foot; there, we rejoiced in him.
⁷He rules by his power forever; his eyes look at the nations; do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.

⁸Bless our God, you people, and make the voice of his praise be heard,
⁹who holds our soul in life, and does not prevent our feet from being moved.
¹⁰For you, God, have proved us; you have tried us, as silver is tried.
¹¹You brought us into the net; you laid affliction on our loins.
¹²You have caused us to be in servitude; we went through fire and through water; finally, you brought us out into a comfortable place.

¹³I will go into your house with gifts; I will pay you my vows,
¹⁴which my lips have uttered and my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.
¹⁵I will offer to you burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the savor of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats.

¹⁶Come and hear, all you servants of God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.
¹⁷I cried to him with my mouth, and he has answered me; I extolled him with my tongue.
¹⁸If you look at iniquity in my heart, Master, do not deliver me.
¹⁹But assuredly, God has heard me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer, nor turned his mercy from me.
