Psalms 66:1-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 66
1Shout joyfully to God, all the earth; 2Sing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious. 3Say to God, 'How awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will pretend to obey You. 4All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name.' Selah 5Come and see the works of God, Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of mankind. 6He turned the sea into dry land; They passed through the river on foot; Let’s rejoice there, in Him! 7He rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; The rebellious shall not exalt themselves! Selah 8Bless our God, you peoples, And sound His praise abroad, 9Who keeps us in life, And does not allow our feet to slip. 10For You have put us to the test, God; You have refined us as silver is refined. 11You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon us. 12You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water. Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance. 13I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows, 14Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress. 15I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat animals, With the smoke of rams; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats. Selah 16Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul. 17I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was exalted with my tongue. 18If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear; 19But God has heard; He has given attention to the sound of my prayer.King James Version

Chapter 66
1For the choir director. A song. A psalm. Let the whole earth shout joyfully to God! 2Sing about the glory of his name; make his praise glorious. 3Say to God, "How awe-inspiring are your works! Your enemies will cringe before you because of your great strength.
4The whole earth will worship you and sing praise to you. They will sing praise to your name." Selah
5Come and see the wonders of God; his acts for humanity are awe-inspiring.
6He turned the sea into dry land, and they crossed the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him.
7He rules forever by his might; he keeps his eye on the nations. The rebellious should not exalt themselves. Selah
8Bless our God, you peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard.
9He keeps us alive and does not allow our feet to slip.
10For you, God, tested us; you refined us as silver is refined.
11You lured us into a trap; you placed burdens on our backs.
12You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us out to abundance.
13I will enter your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows
14that my lips promised and my mouth spoke during my distress.
15I will offer you fattened sheep as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will sacrifice bulls with goats. Selah
16Come and listen, all who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me.
17I cried out to him with my mouth, and praise was on my tongue.
18If I had been aware of malice in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
19However, God has listened; he has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.

5Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people!
6He made a dry path through the Red Sea, and his people went across on foot. There we rejoiced in him.
8Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing his praises.
9Our lives are in his hands, and he keeps our feet from stumbling.
10You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver.
11You captured us in your net and laid the burden of slavery on our backs.
12Then you put a leader over us. We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great abundance.

So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. 4 All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name." Selah 5 Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man. 6He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him, 7who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations — let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah 8Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard, 9who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip. 10For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. 11You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs; 12you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance. 13I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will perform my vows to you, 14that which my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble. 15I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals, with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams; I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah 16 Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul. 17I cried to him with my mouth, and high praise was on my tongue. 18If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. 19But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.New International Version

12You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.
13I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you—
14vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.

19but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer.
