Psalms 66 — GNB

66Verse 1“For the leader of the music. A psalm.” Shout joyfully unto God. all ye lands!^{Verse 2}Sing ye the honor of his name; Make his praise glorious!^{Verse 3}Say unto God, How terrible are thy doings! Through the greatness of thy power thine enemies are suppliants to thee!^{Verse 4}Let all the earth worship thee; Let it sing praise to thee, let it sing praise to thy name! [[Pause.]]^{Verse 5}Come, behold the works of God! How terrible his doings among the sons of men!^{Verse 6}He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the deep on foot; Then we rejoiced in him.^{Verse 7}By his power he ruleth for ever; His eyes are fixed upon the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves! [[Pause.]]^{Verse 8}O bless our God, ye nations. And make the voice of his praise to be heard!^{Verse 9}It is he who preserveth our lives, And suffereth not our feet to stumble.^{Verse 10}Thou hast, indeed, proved us, O God! Thou hast tried us as silver is tried.^{Verse 11}Thou broughtest us into a snare, And didst lay a heavy burden upon our backs;^{Verse 12}Thou didst cause men to ride upon our heads, And we have gone through fire and water: But thou hast brought us to a place of abundance.^{Verse 13}I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings! I will pay thee my vows,—^{Verse 14}The vows which my lips uttered. Which my mouth promised in my trouble.^{Verse 15}Burnt sacrifices of fatlings will I offer to thee with the fat of rams; Bullocks, with he-goats, will I sacrifice to thee. [[Pause.]]^{Verse 16}Come and hear, all ye who fear God, And I will relate what he hath done for me!^{Verse 17}I called upon him with my mouth, And praise is now upon my tongue.^{Verse 18}If I had meditated wickedness in my heart, The Lord would not have heard me:^{Verse 19}But surely God hath heard me; He hath had regard to the voice of my supplication.^{Verse 20}Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer, Nor withhold his mercy from me!
