Chapter Text
66:1 For the choir director. A Song. A Psalm. Make a loud shout to God, all the earth;
66:2 Sing praise for the glory of His name; Establish His praise as glorious.
66:3 Say to God, “How fearsome are Your works! Because of the abundance of Your strength Your enemies will cower before You.
66:4 All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name.” Selah.
66:5 Come and see the works of God, Who is fearsome in His deeds toward the sons of men.
66:6 He turned the sea into dry land; They passed through the river on foot; There let us be glad in Him!
66:7 He rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
66:8 Bless our God, O peoples, And make the sound of His praise heard,
66:9 Who establishes us among the living And does not allow our feet to stumble.
66:10 For You have tested us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined.
66:11 You brought us into the net; You established an oppressive burden upon our loins.
66:12 You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water, Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.
66:13 I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows,
66:14 Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.
66:15 I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts, With the smoke of rams; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats. Selah.
66:16 Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will recount what He has done for my soul.
66:17 I called out to Him with my mouth, And He was exalted with my tongue.
66:18 If I see wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear;
66:19 But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
66:20 Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me.
