Psalms 66

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

1To the Overseer. --A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, 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.

2Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.

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

3Say to God, `How fearful <FI>are<Fi> Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

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

4All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah.

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

5Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.

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

6He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.

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

7Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.

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

8Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,

16(not in this translation)

16Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

17Unto Him <FI>with<Fi> my mouth I have called, And exaltation <FI>is<Fi> under my tongue.

18(not in this translation)

18Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.

20Blessed <FI>is<Fi> God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
