Psalm 66

Vers 1

All lands to God in joyful sounds,
aloft your voices raise.
Sing forth the honour of his name,
and glorious make his praise.

Vers 2

Say unto God, How terrible
in all thy works art thou!
Through thy great pow’r thy foes to thee
shall be constrain’d to bow.

Vers 3

All on the earth shall worship thee,
they shall thy praise proclaim
In songs: they shall sing cheerfully
unto thy holy name.

Vers 4

Come, and the works that God hath wrought
with admiration see:
In’s working to the sons of men
most terrible is he.

Vers 5

Into dry land the sea he turn’d,
and they a passage had;
Ev’n marching through the flood on foot,
there we in him were glad.

Vers 6

He ruleth ever by his pow’r;
his eyes the nations see:
O let not the rebellious ones
lift up themselves on high.

Vers 7

Ye people, bless our God; aloud
the voice speak of his praise:
Our soul in life who safe preserves,
our foot from sliding stays.

Vers 8

For thou didst prove and try us, Lord,
as men do silver try;
Brought’st us into the net,
and mad’st bands on our loins to lie.

Vers 9

Thou hast caus’d men ride o’er our heads;
and though that we did pass
Through fire and water, yet thou brought’st
us to a wealthy place.

Vers 10

I’ll bring burnt off ’rings to thy house;
to thee my vows I’ll pay,
Which my lips utter’d, my mouth spake,
when trouble on me lay.

Vers 11

Burnt-sacrifices of fat rams
with incense I will bring;
Of bullocks and of goats I will
present an offering.

Vers 12

All that fear God, come, hear, I’ll tell
what he did for my soul.
I with my mouth unto him cry’d,
my tongue did him extol.

Vers 13

If in my heart I sin regard,
the Lord me will not hear:
But surely God me heard,
and to my prayer’s voice gave ear.

Vers 14

O let the Lord, our gracious God,
for ever blessed be,
Who turned not my pray’r from him,
nor yet his grace from me.
