To the chief musician, a song, a psalm
66
📚✭Shout joyfully to God, all you lands. 2 📚Sing out the honour of his name,
make his praise glorious.
3 📚✭Say to God, “How awe-inspiring
you are in your works!
Through the greatness of your power
your enemies will submit
themselves to you.
4 📚The whole earth will worship you
and sing to you;
they will sing to your name”. Selah
5 📚Come and see the works of God.
He is awe-inspiring in his
deeds toward the children of men.
6 📚✭He turned the sea into dry ground.
They went through the river
on foot.
There we rejoiced in him.
7 📚✭He rules by his power forever.
His eyes see the nations.
Let not the rebellious exalt
themselves. Selah
8 📚✭O praise our God, you people,
and make the sound of his praise
to be heard.
9 📚✭He keeps our soul among
the living,
and does not let our feet be moved.
10 📚✭✭For you, O God, have tested us.
You have refined us, as silver is refined.
11 📚You brought us into the net✭,
you laid affliction on our backs.
12 📚✭You caused men to ride over
our heads.
We went through fire and through
water;
but you brought us out into
overflowing abundance.
13 📚✭I will go into your house
with burnt offerings.
I will fulfil my vows to you,
14 📚Which my lips have uttered
and my mouth
has spoken, when I was
in trouble.
15 📚I will offer to you burnt sacrifices
of fat animals, with the fragrant
aroma of rams.
I will offer bulls with goats. Selah
16 📚✭Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will declare what he has done
for my soul.
17 📚I cried out to him with my mouth,
and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 📚✭If I regard sin in my heart,
the Lord will not hear me.
19 📚But God has certainly heard me.
He has listened to the voice
of my prayer.
20 📚Blessed be God who
has not turned
away my prayer,
or his mercy from me.
