Psalm 66

¹ O BE joyful in God, all ye lands * sing praises unto the honour of his Name, make his praise to be glorious.

² Say unto God, O how wonderful art thou in thy works * through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies be found liars unto thee.

³ For all the world shall worship thee * sing of thee, and praise thy Name.

⁴ O come hither, and behold the works of God * how wonderful he is in his doing toward the children of men.

⁵ He turned the sea into dry land * so that they went through the water on foot; there did we rejoice thereof.

⁶ He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes behold the people * and such as will not believe shall not be able to exalt themselves.

⁷ O praise our God, ye people * and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

⁸ Who holdeth our soul in life * and suffereth not our feet to slip.

⁹ For thou, O God, hast proved us * thou also hast tried us, like as silver is tried.

¹⁰ Thou broughtest us into the snare * and laidest trouble upon our loins.

¹¹ Thou sufferedst men to ride over our heads * we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

¹² I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings * and will pay thee my vows, which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth, when I was in trouble.

¹³ I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the incense of rams * I will offer bullocks and goats.

¹⁴ O come hither, and hearken, all ye that fear God * and I will tell you what he hath done for my soul.

¹⁵ I called unto him with my mouth * and gave him praises with my tongue.

¹⁶ If I incline unto wickedness with mine heart * the Lord will not hear me.

¹⁷ But God hath heard me * and considered the voice of my prayer.

¹⁸ Praised be God, who hath not cast out my prayer * nor turned his mercy from me.
