Psalms 66:1-14

¹To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm. Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:

²Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.

³Say 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.

⁴Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah.)

⁵Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.

⁶The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.

⁷He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah.)

⁸Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;

⁹Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.

¹⁰For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.

¹¹You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.

¹²You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.

¹³I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,

¹⁴Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.
