Chapter 66

   For the Chief Musician. A song, a Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:  

-

  Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious.  

-

  Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.  

-

  All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. Selah  

-

  Come, and see the works of God; [He is] terrible in his doing toward the children of men.  

-

  He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him.  

-

  He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah  

-

  Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard;  

-

  Who holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved.  

-

  For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.  

-

  Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.  

-

  Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.  

-

  I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,  

-

  Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.  

-

  I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah  

-

  Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.  

-

  I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue.  

-

  If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:  

-

  But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.  

-

  Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me.
