詩篇 66

1For the leader. A song. A psalm.Raise a shout for God, all the earth;

2sing the glory of God’s name,make glorious God’s praise.

3Say to God,“How awesome are Your deeds,Your enemies cower before Your great strength;

4all the earth bows to You,and sings hymns to You;all sing hymns to Your name.” Selah.

5Come and see the works of God,who is held in awe by mortals for acts divine,

6and who turned the sea into dry land:Israel crossed the river on foot;we therefore rejoice in [God].

7[God] rules forever with divine might,eyes scanning the nations—not letting the rebellious assert themselves. Selah.

8O peoples, bless our God;celebrate with praises

9the One who has granted us life,and has not let our feet slip.

10You have tried us, O God,refining us, as one refines silver.

11You have caught us in a net,caught us in trammels.

12You have let people ride over us;we have endured fire and water,and You have brought us through to prosperity.

13I enter Your house with burnt offerings,I pay my vows to You,

14[vows] that my lips pronounced,that my mouth uttered in my distress.

15I offer up fatlings to You,with the odor of burning rams;I sacrifice bulls and he-goats. Selah.

16Come and hear, all you who fear God,as I tell what was done for me.

17I called aloud to [God],glorification on my tongue.

18Had I an evil thought in my mind,my Sovereign would not have listened.

19But God did listen—paying heed to my prayer.

20Blessed is God who has not turned away my prayer,or faithful care, from me.
