Psalm 66 | Liturgical Calendar

1

O be joyful in God, all ye lands *

sing praises unto the honour of his Name, make his praise to be glorious.

2

Say unto God, O how wonderful art thou in thy works *

through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies be found liars unto thee.

3

For all the world shall worship thee *

sing of thee, and praise thy Name.

4

O come hither, and behold the works of God *

how wonderful he is in his doing toward the children of men.

5

He turned the sea into dry land *

so that they went through the water on foot; there did we rejoice thereof.

6

He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes behold the people *

and such as will not believe shall not be able to exalt themselves.

7

O praise our God, ye people *

and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

8

Who holdeth our soul in life *

and suffereth not our feet to slip.

9

For thou, O God, hast proved us *

thou also hast tried us, like as silver is tried.

10

Thou broughtest us into the snare *

and laidest trouble upon our loins.

11

Thou sufferedst men to ride over our heads *

we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

12

I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings *

and will pay thee my vows, which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth, when I was in trouble.

13

I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the incense of rams *

I will offer bullocks and goats.

14

O come hither, and hearken, all ye that fear God *

and I will tell you what he hath done for my soul.

15

I called unto him with my mouth *

and gave him praises with my tongue.

16

If I incline unto wickedness with mine heart *

the Lord will not hear me.

17

But God hath heard me *

and considered the voice of my prayer.

18

Praised be God, who hath not cast out my prayer *

nor turned his mercy from me.
