PSALM 66 S.M.

1 Shout loud with joy to God;
all earth, your chorus raise!
2 Sing loud the honour of his name
and glorious make his praise!

3 Speak thus to God the Lord:
“How great your works of power!
So overwhelming is your might
that foes before you cower.

4 “All earth bows down to you;
they sing aloud your fame.
They never cease to celebrate
the glory of your name.”

5 Come, see what God has done,
his mighty works of old,
His deeds towards the human race—
how awesome to behold!

6 To let his people pass
on foot through waters broad
He turned the sea into dry land.
Let us rejoice in God!

7 With might and power he rules;
on nations sets his eyes.
So let not rebels in their pride
against him turn and rise.

8 O peoples, praise our God;
his praise in song repeat.
9 He has preserved our soul alive,
from slipping kept our feet.

10 You tested us, O God,
as silver is refined.
11 You laid sore burdens on our backs;
in chains we were confined.

12 You let us be oppressed;
we went through flood and fire.
But yet you brought us to a place
which met our hearts’ desire.

13 With whole burnt offerings
your temple courts I’ll tread;
I will fulfil my vows to you—
the promises I made.

14 I’ll keep the vows I made
when trouble came my way;
15 Rams, bulls and goats I’ll sacrifice
and on your altar lay.

16 Come, all who fear our God;
I’ll tell what he has done.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.

18 If I had cherished sin,
the Lord would not have heard;
19 But surely when I prayed to him
God listened to my word.

20 For ever God be praised,
who hears me from above;
He has not turned away my prayer
or kept from me his love.
