📖 Psalms 66
-
1
For the music director; a song, a psalm. Shout out praise to God, all the earth!
-
2
Sing praises about the majesty of his reputation! Give him the honor he deserves!
-
3
Say to God:“How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power your enemies cower in fear before you.
-
4
All the earth worships you and sings praises to you! They sing praises to your name!”(Selah)
-
5
Come and witness God’s exploits! His acts on behalf of people are awesome!
-
6
He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. Let us rejoice in him there!
-
7
He rules by his power forever; he watches the nations. Stubborn rebels should not exalt themselves.(Selah)
-
8
Praise our God, you nations! Loudly proclaim his praise!
-
9
He preserves our lives and does not allow our feet to slip.
-
10
For you, O God, tested us; you purified us like refined silver.
-
11
You led us into a trap; you caused us to suffer.
-
12
You allowed men to ride over our heads; we passed through fire and water, but you brought us out into a wide open place.
-
13
I will enter your temple with burnt sacrifices; I will fulfill the vows I made to you,
-
14
which my lips uttered and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.
-
15
I will offer up to you fattened animals as burnt sacrifices, along with the smell of sacrificial rams. I will offer cattle and goats.(Selah)
-
16
Come! Listen, all you who are loyal to God! I will declare what he has done for me.
-
17
I cried out to him for help and praised him with my tongue.
-
18
If I had harbored sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
-
19
However, God heard; he listened to my prayer.
-
20
God deserves praise, for he did not reject my prayer or abandon his love for me!
