Psalm 66–67

Praise God for What He Has Done

For the director of music. A song. A psalm.

66Everything on earth, shout with joy to God!

²Sing about his glory!

Make his praise glorious!

³Say to God, “Your works are amazing!

Because your power is great,

your enemies fall before you.

⁴All the earth worships you

and sings praises to you.

They sing praises to your name.”

Selah

⁵Come and see what God has done,

the amazing things he has done for people.

⁶He turned the sea into dry land.

The people crossed the river on foot.

So let us rejoice because of what he did.

⁷He rules forever with his power.

He keeps his eye on the nations,

so people should not turn against him.

Selah

⁸You people, praise our God;

loudly sing his praise.

⁹He protects our lives

and does not let us be defeated.

¹⁰God, you have tested us;

you have purified us like silver.

¹¹You let us be trapped

and put a heavy load on us.

¹²You let our enemies walk on our heads.

We went through fire and flood,

but you brought us to a place with good things.

¹³I will come to your Temple with burnt offerings.

I will give you what I promised,

¹⁴things I promised when I was in trouble.

¹⁵I will bring you offerings of fat animals,

and I will offer sheep, bulls, and goats.

Selah

¹⁶All of you who fear God, come and listen,

and I will tell you what he has done for me.

¹⁷I cried out to him with my mouth

and praised him with my tongue.

¹⁸If I had known of any sin in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened to me.

¹⁹But God has listened;

he has heard my prayer.

²⁰Praise God,

who did not ignore my prayer

or hold back his love from me.

Everyone Should Praise God

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.

67God, have mercy on us and bless us

and show us your kindness

Selah

²so the world will learn your ways,

and all nations will learn that you can save.

³God, the people should praise you;

all people should praise you.

⁴The nations should be glad and sing

because you judge people fairly.

You guide all the nations on earth.

Selah

⁵God, the people should praise you;

all people should praise you.

⁶The land has given its crops.

God, our God, blesses us.

⁷God blesses us

so people all over the earth will fear him.
