PSALM 66

« Psalm 65 | Psalm 66 | Psalm 67 »

How Awesome Are Your Deeds

To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.
66:1

Shout for joy to God, all the earth; 2

sing the glory of his name;

give to him glorious praise! 3

Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!

So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. 4

All the earth worships you

and sings praises to you;

they sing praises to your name.” Selah
5

Come and see what God has done:

he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man. 6

He turned the sea into dry land;

they passed through the river on foot.

There did we rejoice in him, 7

who rules by his might forever,

whose eyes keep watch on the nations—

let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8

Bless our God, O peoples;

let the sound of his praise be heard, 9

who has kept our soul among the living

and has not let our feet slip. 10

For you, O God, have tested us;

you have tried us as silver is tried. 11

You brought us into the net;

you laid a crushing burden on our backs; 12

you let men ride over our heads;

we went through fire and through water;

yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.
13

I will come into your house with burnt offerings;

I will perform my vows to you, 14

that which my lips uttered

and my mouth promised when I was in trouble. 15

I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,

with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;

I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah
16

Come and hear, all you who fear God,

and I will tell what he has done for my soul. 17

I cried to him with my mouth,

and high praise was on my tongue. 18

If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened. 19

But truly God has listened;

he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20

Blessed be God,

because he has not rejected my prayer

or removed his steadfast love from me!
