| Chapter 66 |
1 | Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth!
|
2 | Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!
|
3 | Tell God, 'How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, Your enemies will submit themselves to you.
|
4 | All the earth will worship you, And will sing to you; They will sing to your name.' Selah.
|
5 | Come, and see God's deeds -- Awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
|
6 | He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.
|
7 | He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don't let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.
|
8 | Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard,
|
9 | Who preserves our life among the living, And doesn't allow our feet to be moved.
|
10 | For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.
|
11 | You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.
|
12 | You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, But you brought us to the place of abundance.
|
13 | I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,
|
14 | which my lips promised, And my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
|
15 | I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, With the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.
|
16 | Come, and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.
|
17 | I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.
|
18 | If I cherished sin in my heart, The Lord wouldn't have listened.
|
19 | But most assuredly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.
|
20 | Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me. Psalm 67 For the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song.
