Psalm 66:17

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

I prayed to the Lord, and I praised him.

See the chapter Copy

I was a nobody, but I prayed, and the LORD saved me from all my troubles.

I will praise you, my God and King, and always honour your name.

What must I give you, LORD, for being so good to me?

I prayed to you, LORD, and in my prayer I said,

I will praise you, LORD! You saved me from the grave and kept my enemies from celebrating my death.

“What good will it do you if I am in the grave? Once I have turned to dust, how can I praise you or tell how loyal you are?
