| Chapter 66 |
1 |
To the Overseer. -- A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth. --
|
2 |
Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise. --
|
3 |
Say to God, 'How fearful [are] Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee. --
|
4 |
All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah. --
|
5 |
Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men. --
|
6 |
He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him. --
|
7 |
Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah. --
|
8 |
Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise, --
|
9 |
Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved. --
|
10 |
For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver. --
|
11 |
Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins. --
|
12 |
Thou 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. --
|
13 |
I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows, --
|
14 |
For 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. --
|
16 |
Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul. --
|
17 |
Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue. --
|
18 |
Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear. --
|
19 |
But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer. --
|
20 |
Blessed [is] God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me! --
