Psalms 66 · Clearspring

For the choirmaster. A song. A Psalm.

Make a Joyful Noise

¹Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!+ ²Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!+ ³Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.+ ⁴All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” Selah.+ ⁵Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men.+ ⁶He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.+ ⁷He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.+ ⁸Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard,+ ⁹who preserves our life among the living, and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved.+ ¹⁰For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.+ ¹¹You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.+ ¹²You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.+ ¹³I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,+ ¹⁴which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.+ ¹⁵I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah.+ ¹⁶Come, and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.+ ¹⁷I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.+ ¹⁸If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.+ ¹⁹But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.+ ²⁰Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.+
