Psalm 66–67

How Awesome Are Your Deeds

66To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.

^1bShout for joy to God, all the earth;

²sing the glory of his name;

^cgive to him glorious praise!

³Say to God, ^d“How awesome are your deeds!

So great is your power that your enemies ^ecome cringing to you.

^4fAll the earth worships you

and sings praises to you;

they sing praises to your name.” Selah

^5gCome and see what God has done:

^dhe is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.

⁶He ^hturned the sea into dry land;

they ⁱpassed through the river on foot.

There did we rejoice in him,

⁷who rules by his might forever,

whose ^jeyes keep watch on the nations—

let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

⁸Bless our God, O peoples;

let the sound of his praise be heard,

⁹who has kept our soul among the living

and ^khas not let our feet slip.

¹⁰For you, O God, have ^ltested us;

you have tried us as silver is tried.

¹¹You brought us into ^mthe net;

you laid a crushing burden on our backs;

¹²you let men ⁿride over our heads;

we went through fire and through ^owater;

yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

¹³I will come into your house with burnt offerings;

I will ^pperform my vows to you,

¹⁴that which my lips uttered

and my mouth promised ^qwhen I was in trouble.

¹⁵I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,

with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;

I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah

^16rCome and hear, all you who fear God,

and I will tell what he has done for my soul.

¹⁷I cried to him with my mouth,

and high praise was on¹ my tongue.²

¹⁸If I had ^scherished iniquity in my heart,

^tthe Lord would not have listened.

¹⁹But truly ^uGod has listened;

he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰Blessed be God,

because he has not rejected my prayer

or removed his steadfast love from me!

Make Your Face Shine upon Us

67To the choirmaster: with ^vstringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.

¹May God ^wbe gracious to us and bless us

and make his face to ^xshine upon us, Selah

²that ^yyour way may be known on earth,

your ^zsaving power among all nations.

^3aLet the peoples praise you, O God;

let all the peoples praise you!

⁴Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,

for you ^bjudge the peoples with equity

and guide the nations upon earth. Selah

^5aLet the peoples praise you, O God;

let all the peoples praise you!

⁶The earth has ^cyielded its increase;

God, our God, shall bless us.

⁷God shall bless us;

let ^dall the ends of the earth fear him!
