PSALM 66 (NIV)
- Shout with joy to God, all the earth!
- Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious!
- Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.
- All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name." Selah
- Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf!
- He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot - come, let us rejoice in him.
- He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations - let not the rebellious rise up against him. Selah
- Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;
- he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.
- For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver.
- You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.
- You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.
- I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you -
- vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.
- I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah
- Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.
- I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on m tongue.
- If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD would not have listened;
- but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.
- Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love form me!
