# Psalm 66 To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise!
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” Selah
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him,
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations— let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard,
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip.
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
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.
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will perform my vows to you,
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. that which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
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
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
17. I cried to him with my mouth, and high praise was on my tongue.
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
18. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
19. But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
20. Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!
