Psalm 66:1–12

1 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;*

2 sing the glory of his name;

give to him glorious praise.*

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

Because of your great power, your enemies cringe before you.*

4 All the earth worships you;

they sing praises to you,

sing praises to your name.”   Selah*

5 Come and see what God has done:

he is awesome in his deeds among mortals.*

6 He turned the sea into dry land;

they passed through the river on foot.

There we rejoiced in him,*

7 who rules by his might forever,

whose eyes keep watch on the nations—

let the rebellious not exalt themselves.   Selah*

8 Bless our God, O peoples;

let the sound of his praise be heard,*

9 who has kept us among the living

and has not let our feet slip.*

10 For you, O God, have tested us;

you have tried us as silver is tried.*

11 You brought us into the net;

you laid burdens on our backs;*

12 you let people ride over our heads;

we went through fire and through water;

yet you have brought us out to a spacious place.b,*
