For the end, a Song of Psalm of
resurrection. 66:1 Shout unto God, all the earth.
66:2 O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.
66:3 Say unto God, How awful are thy works! through the greatness of thy
power thine enemies shall lie to thee.
66:4 Let all the earth worship thee, and sing to thee; let them sing to thy
name. Pause.
66:5 Come and behold the works of God; [he is] terrible in [his] counsels
beyond the children of men.
66:6 Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on
foot; there shall we rejoice in him,
66:7 who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations;
let not them that provoke [him] be exalted in themselves. Pause.
66:8 Bless our God, ye Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be
heard;
66:9 who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved.
66:10 For thou, O God, has proved us; thou hast tried us with fire as silver
is tried.
66:11 Thou broughtest us into the snare; thou laidest afflictions on our
back.
66:12 Thou didst mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and
water; but thou broughtest us out into [a place of] refreshment.
66:13 I will go into thine house with whole-burnt-offerings; I will pay thee
my vows,
66:14 which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.
66:15 I will offer to thee whole-burnt-sacrifices full of marrow, with
incense and rams; I will sacrifice to thee oxen with goats. Pause.
66:16 Come, hear, and I will tell, all ye that fear God, how great things he
has done for my soul.
66:17 I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue.
66:18 If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord hearken [to
me].
66:19 Therefore God has hearkened to me; he has attended to the voice of my
prayer.
66:20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from
me. |
To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm.
66:1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
66:2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
66:3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness
of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall
sing to thy name. Selah.
66:5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the
children of men.
66:6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot:
there did we rejoice in him.
66:7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not
the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
66:8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be
heard:
66:9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
66:10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is
tried.
66:11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our
loins.
66:12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and
through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
66:13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my
vows,
66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in
trouble.
66:15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense
of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
66:16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath
done for my soul.
66:17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
66:19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my
prayer.
66:20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy
from me. |
