Psalm 66 | Liturgical Calendar

1

Be joyful in God, all you lands; *

sing praises to the honor of his Name; make his praise to be glorious.

2

Say to God, “How wonderful are your works; *

through the greatness of your power shall your enemies cower before you.

3

For all the world shall worship you, *

sing to you, and praise your Name.”

4

O come and see the works of God, *

how wonderful he is in his doing toward all people.

5

He turned the sea into dry land, so that they went through the water on foot; *

therefore in him let us rejoice.

6

He rules with his power for ever; his eyes keep watch over the nations; *

let not the rebellious exalt themselves.

7

Bless our God, you peoples, *

and make the voice of his praise to be heard,

8

Who holds our soul in life, *

and does not allow our feet to slip.

9

For you, O God, have proved us; *

you have tried us, as silver is tried.

10

You brought us into the snare *

and laid trouble upon our backs.

11

You allowed men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and water; *

but you brought us out into a place of plenty.

12

I will go into your house with burnt offerings *

and will pay you my vows,

13

Even those which I promised with my lips *

and spoke with my mouth when I was in trouble.

14

I will offer you burnt sacrifices of fattened beasts, with the incense of rams; *

I will offer bullocks and goats.

15

Come here and listen, all you who fear God, *

and I will tell you what he has done for me.

16

I called to him with my mouth, *

and gave him praises with my tongue.

17

If I had inclined toward wickedness with my heart, *

the Lord would not have heard me.

18

But God has heard me *

and considered the voice of my prayer.

19

Blessed be God who has not refused my prayer, *

nor turned his mercy from me.
