Psalm 66

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹ Shout praise to God, all the earth!
² Make music to the glory of his name!
Make his praise glorious!
³ Say to God, “How awesome^[a] are your deeds!”
Because of your great power your enemies must cower before you.
⁴ All the earth bows down to you.
They make music to you.
They make music to your name. Interlude

⁵ Come and see the works of God.
How awesome his deeds for all people!
⁶ He turned the sea into dry land.
They crossed through the river on foot.
Let us rejoice in him there.
⁷ He rules by his power forever.
His eyes watch the nations. Interlude
Do not let the rebellious rise up against him.
⁸ Bless our God, you peoples.
Let the sound of his praise be heard.
⁹ He is the one who has preserved our lives.
He did not let our feet slip.
¹⁰ Indeed, you tested us, God.
You refined us as silver is refined.
¹¹ You led us into a trap.
You laid a burden on our backs.
¹² You let men ride over our heads.
We went through fire and through water,
but you brought us out to a well-watered place.

¹³ I will come to your house with whole burnt offerings.
I will fulfill my vows to you,
¹⁴     which my lips uttered,
    which my mouth spoke during my trouble.
¹⁵ I will offer fat animals to you as whole burnt offerings,
    along with the smoke from rams. Interlude
I will offer cattle with goats.
¹⁶ Come, listen, all you who fear God,
and let me tell what he has done to save my life.
¹⁷ To him I cried out with my mouth.
High praise was on my tongue.
¹⁸ If I had contemplated evil in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened,
¹⁹ but God has surely listened.
He has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.
²⁰ Blessed be God, who has not turned aside my prayer
or turned aside his mercy from me!
