RSV Psalms 66 Chapter
66:1
To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
66:2
sing the glory of his name;give to him glorious praise!
66:3
Say to God, 'How terrible are thy deeds! So great is thy power that thy enemies cringe before thee.
66:4
All the earth worships thee;they sing praises to thee, sing praises to thy name.' [Selah]
66:5
Come and see what God has done: he is terrible in his deeds among men.
66:6
He turned the sea into dry land;men passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him,
66:7
who rules by his might for ever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations -- let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah]
66:8
Bless our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard,
66:9
who has kept us among the living, and has not let our feet slip.
66:10
For thou, O God, hast tested us;thou hast tried us as silver is tried.
66:11
Thou didst bring us into the net;thou didst lay affliction on our loins;
66:12
thou didst let men ride over our heads;we went through fire and through water;yet thou hast brought us forth to a spacious place.
66:13
I will come into thy house with burnt offerings;I will pay thee my vows,
66:14
that which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.
66:15
I will offer to thee burnt offerings of fatlings, with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;I will make an offering of bulls and goats. [Selah]
66:16
Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me.
66:17
I cried aloud to him, and he was extolled with my tongue.
66:18
If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
66:19
But truly God has listened;he has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
66:20
Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!
