Noyes - Psalms - 66

66:1  Shout joyfully unto God. all ye lands!

66:2  Sing ye the honor of his name; Make his praise glorious!

66:3  Say unto God, How terrible are thy doings! Through the greatness of thy power thine enemies are suppliants to thee!

66:4  Let all the earth worship thee; Let it sing praise to thee, let it sing praise to thy name! [Pause.]

66:5  Come, behold the works of God! How terrible his doings among the sons of men!

66:6  He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the deep on foot; Then we rejoiced in him.

66:7  By his power he ruleth for ever; His eyes are fixed upon the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves! [Pause.]

66:8  O bless our God, ye nations. And make the voice of his praise to be heard!

66:9  It is he who preserveth our lives, And suffereth not our feet to stumble.

66:10  Thou hast, indeed, proved us, O God! Thou hast tried us as silver is tried.

66:11  Thou broughtest us into a snare, And didst lay a heavy burden upon our backs;

66:12  Thou didst cause men to ride upon our heads, And we have gone through fire and water: But thou hast brought us to a place of abundance.

66:13  I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings! I will pay thee my vows,—

66:14  The vows which my lips uttered. Which my mouth promised in my trouble.

66:15  Burnt sacrifices of fatlings will I offer to thee with the fat of rams; Bullocks, with he-goats, will I sacrifice to thee. [Pause.]

66:16  Come and hear, all ye who fear God, And I will relate what he hath done for me!

66:17  I called upon him with my mouth, And praise is now upon my tongue.

66:18  If I had meditated wickedness in my heart, The Lord would not have heard me:

66:19  But surely God hath heard me; He hath had regard to the voice of my supplication.

66:20  Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer, Nor withhold his mercy from me!
