66:1 <To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm.> Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:
66:2 Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.
66:3 Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.
66:4 Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah.)
66:5 Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.
66:6 The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.
66:7 He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah.)
66:8 Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;
66:9 Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.
66:10 For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.
66:11 You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.
66:12 You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.
66:13 I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,
66:14 Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.
66:15 I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah.)
66:16 Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.
66:17 My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.
66:18 I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:
66:19 But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.
66:20 Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.
