| Chapter 66 |
1 | {To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm.} Shout aloud unto God, all the earth:
|
2 | Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;
|
3 | Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.
|
4 | All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. Selah.
|
5 | Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in [his] doings toward the children of men.
|
6 | He turned the sea into dry [land]; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
|
7 | He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
|
8 | Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
|
9 | Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
|
10 | For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
|
11 | Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;
|
12 | Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.
|
13 | I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,
|
14 | Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
|
15 | I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
|
16 | Come, hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
|
17 | I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
|
18 | Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.
|
19 | But God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
|
20 | Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!
