The Book of Psalms, Chapter 66
|
| 1 |
Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
|
| 2 |
Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
|
| 3 |
Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the
greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto
thee.
|
| 4 |
All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they
shall sing to thy name. Selah.
|
| 5 |
Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward
the children of men.
|
| 6 |
He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on
foot: there did we rejoice in him.
|
| 7 |
He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let
not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
|
| 8 |
O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to
be heard:
|
| 9 |
Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be
moved.
|
| 10 |
For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver
is tried.
|
| 11 |
Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our
loins.
|
| 12 |
Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through
fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy
place.
|
| 13 |
I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee
my vows,
|
| 14 |
Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was
in trouble.
|
| 15 |
I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the
incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
|
| 16 |
Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he
hath done for my soul.
|
| 17 |
I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my
tongue.
|
| 18 |
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
|
| 19 |
But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of
my prayer.
|
| 20 |
Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his
mercy from me.
