Psalms 66

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.

10For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.

11Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.

12Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.

13I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,

13(not in this translation)

14For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:

15`Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.

15(not in this translation)

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

16(not in this translation)

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

17(not in this translation)

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

18(not in this translation)

19But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

19(not in this translation)

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