          DASV: Psalm 66    

For the music director, a song, a psalm

1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth.
2 Sing about the glory of his name;
     make his praise glorious.
3 Say to God, "How awesome are your works!
     Because of the greatness of your power
           your enemies cringe before you.
4 All the earth worships you,
     and sings praise to you;
           they sing praise to your name." Selah

5 Come, and see the works of God,
     his awesome acts on behalf of human beings.
6 He turned the sea into dry land;
     they crossed the river on foot;
           let us rejoice there in him.
7 He rules by his power forever;
     his eyes observe the nations;
           do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

8 Bless our God, you peoples,
     let the voice of his praise be heard;
9 who keeps us among the living,
     and does not allow our feet to slip.
10 For you, O God, have tested us;
     you have refined us as silver.
11 You trapped us in your net;
     you laid a heavy burden on our backs.
12 You let men ride over our heads;
     we went through fire and water,
      but you brought us out into a place of plenty.

13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
     I will pay you my vows,
14 those my lips uttered,
     and my mouth pledged when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer fattened animals as burnt offerings to you,
     with the smoke of rams;
           I will offer bulls and goats. Selah

16 Come, and hear, all you who fear God,
     and I will declare what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth,
     and praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had harbored sin in my heart,
     the Lord would not have listened.
19 But in fact, God has listened,
     he has heard the voice of my prayer.
20 Praise God, who has not rejected my prayer,
     or removed his loyal love from me.
