Psalm 66–67

Psalm 66

To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm.

¹Make ^aa joyful shout to God, all the earth!

²Sing out the honor of His name;

Make His praise glorious.

³Say to God,

“How ^bawesome are Your works!

^cThrough the greatness of Your power

Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.

^4dAll the earth shall worship You

And sing praises to You;

They shall sing praises to Your name.”

Selah

⁵Come and see the works of God;

He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.

^6eHe turned the sea into dry land;

^fThey went through the river on foot.

There we will rejoice in Him.

⁷He rules by His power forever;

His eyes observe the nations;

Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.

Selah

⁸Oh, bless our God, you peoples!

And make the voice of His praise to be heard,

⁹Who keeps our soul among the living,

And does not allow our feet to ¹be moved.

¹⁰For ^gYou, O God, have tested us;

^hYou have refined us as silver is refined.

¹¹ⁱYou brought us into the net;

You laid affliction on our backs.

^12jYou have caused men to ride over our heads;

^kWe went through fire and through water;

But You brought us out to ²rich fulfillment.

^13lI will go into Your house with burnt offerings;

^mI will pay You my ³vows,

¹⁴Which my lips have uttered

And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.

¹⁵I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals,

With the sweet aroma of rams;

I will offer bulls with goats.

Selah

¹⁶Come and hear, all you who fear God,

And I will declare what He has done for my soul.

¹⁷I cried to Him with my mouth,

And He was ⁴extolled with my tongue.

¹⁸ⁿIf I regard iniquity in my heart,

The Lord will not hear.

¹⁹But certainly God ^ohas heard me;

He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰Blessed be God,

Who has not turned away my prayer,

Nor His mercy from me!

Psalm 67

To the Chief Musician. On Stringed Instruments. A Psalm. A Song.

¹God be merciful to us and bless us,

And ^acause His face to shine upon us,

Selah

²That ^bYour way may be known on earth,

^cYour salvation among all nations.

³Let the peoples praise You, O God;

Let all the peoples praise You.

⁴Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy!

For ^dYou shall judge the people righteously,

And govern the nations on earth.

Selah

⁵Let the peoples praise You, O God;

Let all the peoples praise You.

^6eThen the earth shall ²yield her increase;

God, our own God, shall bless us.

⁷God shall bless us,

And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.
