Psalm 66_1 - Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Praise for God’s Mighty Acts

For the choir director. A song. A psalm.

¹ Let the whole earth shout joyfully to God!

² Sing about the glory of his name; make his praise glorious.

³ Say to God, ‘How awe-inspiring are your works! Your enemies will cringe before you because of your great strength.

⁴ The whole earth will worship you and sing praise to you. They will sing praise to your name.’  Selah

⁵ Come and see the wonders of God; his acts for humanity  are awe-inspiring.

⁶ He turned the sea into dry land, and they crossed the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him.

⁷ He rules for ever by his might; he keeps his eye on the nations. The rebellious should not exalt themselves.  Selah

⁸ Bless our God, you peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard.

⁹ He keeps us alive and does not allow our feet to slip.

¹⁰ For you, God, tested us; you refined us as silver is refined.

¹¹ You lured us into a trap; you placed burdens on our backs.

¹² You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us out to abundance.  ,

¹³ I will enter your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows

¹⁴ that my lips promised and my mouth spoke during my distress.

¹⁵ I will offer you fattened sheep as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will sacrifice bulls with goats.  Selah

¹⁶ Come and listen, all who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me.

¹⁷ I cried out to him with my mouth, and praise was on my tongue.

¹⁸ If I had been aware of malice in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

¹⁹ However, God has listened; he has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed be God! He has not turned away my prayer or turned his faithful love from me.
