| Chapter 66 |
1 |
For the Chief Musician. A song, a Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth: --
|
2 |
Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious. --
|
3 |
Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. --
|
4 |
All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. Selah --
|
5 |
Come, and see the works of God; [He is] terrible in his doing toward the children of men. --
|
6 |
He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him. --
|
7 |
He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah --
|
8 |
Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard; --
|
9 |
Who holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved. --
|
10 |
For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. --
|
11 |
Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins. --
|
12 |
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. --
|
13 |
I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows, --
|
14 |
Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress. --
|
15 |
I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah --
|
16 |
Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul. --
|
17 |
I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue. --
|
18 |
If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear: --
|
19 |
But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer. --
|
20 |
Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me. --
