Psalm 66

Jubilate Deo

¹ Be joyful in God, all you lands;*

sing praises to the honor of his Name; make his praise to be glorious.

² Say to God, "How wonderful are your works;*

through the greatness of your power shall your enemies cower before you.

³ For all the world shall worship you,*

sing to you, and praise your Name."

⁴ O come and see the works of God,*

how wonderful he is in his doing toward all people.

⁵ He turned the sea into dry land, so that they went through the water on foot;*

therefore in him let us rejoice.

⁶ He rules with his power for ever; his eyes keep watch over the nations;*

let not the rebellious exalt themselves.

⁷ Bless our God, you peoples,*

and make the voice of his praise to be heard,

⁸ Who holds our soul in life,*

and does not allow our feet to slip.

⁹ For you, O God, have proved us;*

you have tried us, as silver is tried.

¹⁰ You brought us into the snare*

and laid trouble upon our backs.

¹¹ You allowed men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and water; *

but you brought us out into a place of plenty.

¹² I will go into your house with burnt offerings*

and will pay you my vows,

¹³ Even those which I promised with my lips*

and spoke with my mouth when I was in trouble.

¹⁴ I will offer you burnt sacrifices of fattened beasts, with the incense of rams;*

I will offer bullocks and goats.

¹⁵ Come here and listen, all you who fear God,*

and I will tell you what he has done for me.

¹⁶ I called to him with my mouth,*

and gave him praises with my tongue.

¹⁷ If I had inclined toward wickedness with my heart,*

the Lord would not have heard me.

¹⁸ But God has heard me*

and considered the voice of my prayer.

¹⁹ Blessed be God who has not refused my prayer,*

nor turned his mercy from me.
