PSALMS 诗篇066

PSALM¹ 66
1Shout with joy to God, all the earth!
2Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious!
3Say to God, "How awesome² are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.
4All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name." Selah
5Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf!
6He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot- come, let us rejoice in him.
7He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations- let not the rebellious³ rise up against him. Selah
8Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;
9he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.
10For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver.
11You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.
12You let men 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 fulfill⁴ my vows⁵ to you-
14vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke⁶ when I was in trouble.
15I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams⁷; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah
16Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.
17I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.
18If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;
19but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.
20Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld⁸ his love from me!
