Psalm 66–67

PSALM 66

Come and See the Works of God

For the choir director. A Song. A Psalm.

^1aMake a loud shout to God, all the earth;

²Sing praise for the ^aglory of His name;

Establish His ^bpraise as glorious.

³Say to God, “How ^1afearsome are Your works!

Because of the abundance of Your strength Your enemies will ^2bcower before You.

⁴“^aAll the earth will worship You,

And will ^bsing praises to You;

They will sing praises to Your name.” ¹Selah.

^5aCome and see the works of God,

Who is ^bfearsome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

⁶He ^aturned the sea into dry land;

They passed through ^bthe river on foot;

There let us ^cbe glad in Him!

⁷He ^arules by His might forever;

His ^beyes keep watch on the nations;

Let not the rebellious ^cexalt themselves. Selah.

⁸Bless our God, O peoples,

And ^1amake the sound of His praise heard,

⁹Who ^1aestablishes us among the living

And ^bdoes not allow our feet to stumble.

¹⁰For You have ^atested us, O God;

You have ^brefined us as silver is refined.

¹¹You ^abrought us into the net;

You established an oppressive burden upon our loins.

¹²You made men ^aride over our heads;

We went through ^bfire and through water,

Yet You ^cbrought us out into a place of abundance.

¹³I shall ^acome into Your house with burnt offerings;

I shall ^bpay You my vows,

¹⁴Which my lips uttered

And my mouth spoke when I was ^ain distress.

¹⁵I shall ^aoffer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts,

With the smoke of ^brams;

I shall make an offering of ¹bulls with male goats. Selah.

^16aCome and hear, all who ¹fear God,

And I will ^brecount what He has done for my soul.

¹⁷I called out to Him with my mouth,

And ¹He was ^aexalted with my tongue.

¹⁸If I ^1asee wickedness in my heart,

The ^bLord ²will not ³hear;

¹⁹But certainly ^aGod has heard;

He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

^20aBlessed be God,

Who ^bhas not turned away my prayer

Nor His lovingkindness from me.

PSALM 67

Cause Your Face to Shine upon Us

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.

¹God be gracious to us and ^abless us,

And ^bcause His face to shine ¹upon us— ²Selah.

²That ^aYour way may be known on the earth,

^bYour salvation among all nations.

³Let the ^apeoples praise You, O God;

Let all the peoples praise You.

⁴Let the ^anations be glad and sing for joy;

For You will ^bjudge the peoples with uprightness

And ^clead the nations on the earth. Selah.

⁵Let the ^apeoples praise You, O God;

Let all the peoples praise You.

⁶The ^aearth has yielded its produce;

God, our God, ^bblesses us.

⁷God blesses us,

¹That ^aall the ends of the earth may fear Him.
