Chapter 66 :

Praise for God’s Goodness to Israel

To the leader. A Song. A Psalm.

1 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;

2 sing the glory of his name;
give to him glorious praise.

3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
Because of your great power, your enemies cringe before you.

4 All the earth worships you;
they sing praises to you,
sing praises to your name.”Selah

5 Come and see what God has done:
he is awesome in his deeds among mortals.

6 He turned the sea into dry land;
they passed through the river on foot.
There we rejoiced in him,

7 who rules by his might forever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations—
let the rebellious not exalt themselves.Selah

8 Bless our God, O peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard,

9 who has kept us among the living,
and has not let our feet slip.

10 For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.

11 You brought us into the net;
you laid burdens on our backs;

12 you let people ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water;
yet you have brought us out to a spacious place.

13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay you my vows,

14 those that my lips uttered
and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fatlings,
with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats.Selah

16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for me.

17 I cried aloud to him,
and he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.

19 But truly God has listened;
he has given heed to the words of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,
because he has not rejected my prayer
or removed his steadfast love from me.
