Psalms 66

1Unto the end, in hymns, a psalm of a canticle for David.

1 Shout aloud untoGod, all the earth:

2May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.

2 Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;

3That we may know thy way upon earth: thy salvation in all nations.

3 Say untoGod, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.

4Let people confess to thee, O God: let all people give praise to thee.

4 All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. Selah.

5Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.

5 Come and see the works ofGod: he is terrible in [his] doings toward the children of men.

6Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee:

6 He turned the sea into dry [land]; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

7The earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us,

7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

8May God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him.

8 Bless ourGod, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
