66:1 For the director of music. A song. A psalm. Shout with joy to God, all the earth!

66:2 Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious!

66:3 Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.

66:4 All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name." Selah

66:5 Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf!

66:6 He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot--come, let us rejoice in him.

66:7 He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations--let not the rebellious rise up against him. Selah

66:8 Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;

66:9 he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.

66:10 For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver.

66:11 You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.

66:12 You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.

66:13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you--

66:14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.

66:15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah

66:16 Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.

66:17 I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.

66:18 If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;

66:19 but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.

66:20 Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
