Psalms 66:1-16

¹“To the chief musician, a song or psalm.” Shout joyfully unto God, all ye lands:

²Sing forth the glory of his name; make glorious his praise.

³Say unto God, How fear-inspiring is every one of thy works! through the greatness of thy strength will thy enemies yield feigned obedience unto thee.

⁴All the lands shall bow themselves down unto thee, and shall sing praises unto thee; they shall sing praises to thy name. Selah.

⁵Come and see the deeds of God: fear-inspiring is his doing toward the children of men.

⁶He changed the sea into dry land: through the river they went on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

⁷He ruleth by his might for ever; his eyes look upon the nations: the rebellious—these shall not be exalted. Selah.

⁸Bless, O ye people, our God, and cause the voice of his praise to be heard:

⁹Who hath appointed our soul to life, and hath not suffered our foot to slip.

¹⁰For thou hast proved us, O God: thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.

¹¹Thou hast brought us into the net; thou hast placed fetters upon our loins.

¹²Thou hast caused men to ride on our head: we entered into fire and into water; but thou broughtest us out to the enjoyment of overflowing plenty. a

¹³I will enter thy house with burnt-offerings: I will pay unto thee my vows,

¹⁴Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.

¹⁵Burnt-offerings of fatlings will I offer up unto thee, with the incense of rams; I will prepare steers with he-goats. Selah.

¹⁶Come, hear, and I will relate, all ye that fear God, what he hath done for my soul.
