# Chapter 66
|
|
1 Let the whole earth shout joyfully to God!
|
|
2 Sing about the glory of his name;
|
|
make his praise glorious.
|
|
3 Say to God, “How awe-inspiring are your works!
|
|
Your enemies will cringe before you
|
|
because of your great strength.
|
|
4 The whole earth will worship you
|
|
and sing praise to you.
|
|
They will sing praise to your name.” Selah
|
|
5 Come and see the wonders of God;
|
|
his acts for humanity are awe-inspiring.
|
|
6 He turned the sea into dry land,
|
|
and they crossed the river on foot.
|
|
There we rejoiced in him.
|
|
7 He rules forever by his might;
|
|
he keeps his eye on the nations.
|
|
The rebellious should not exalt themselves. Selah
|
|
8 Bless our God, you peoples;
|
|
let the sound of his praise be heard.
|
|
9 He keeps us alive
|
|
and does not allow our feet to slip.
|
|
10 For you, God, tested us;
|
|
you refined us as silver is refined.
|
|
11 You lured us into a trap;
|
|
you placed burdens on our backs.
|
|
12 You let men ride over our heads;
|
|
we went through fire and water,
|
|
but you brought us out to abundance.
|
|
13 I will enter your house with burnt offerings;
|
|
I will pay you my vows
|
|
14 that my lips promised
|
|
and my mouth spoke during my distress.
|
|
15 I will offer you fattened sheep as burnt offerings,
|
|
with the fragrant smoke of rams;
|
|
I will sacrifice bulls with goats. Selah
|
|
16 Come and listen, all who fear God,
|
|
and I will tell what he has done for me.
|
|
17 I cried out to him with my mouth,
|
|
and praise was on my tongue.
|
|
18 If I had been aware of malice in my heart,
|
|
the Lord would not have listened.
|
|
19 However, God has listened;
|
|
he has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.
|
|
20 Blessed be God!
|
|
He has not turned away my prayer
|
|
or turned his faithful love from me. |
