Psalms 66

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

1 Ref Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:

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

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

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

5 Ref Come, and see the works of God; `He is' terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

20 Ref Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me. Psalm 67 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm, a song.

9 Ref Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.

10 Ref For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.

11 Ref Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.

12 Ref 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 Ref I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,

14 Ref For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:

15 Ref `Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.

16 Ref Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

17 Ref Unto Him `with' my mouth I have called, And exaltation `is' under my tongue.

18 Ref Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.

19 Ref But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Ref Blessed `is' God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
