Psaumes 66

¹ Let the whole earth shout joyfully to God!

² Sing about the glory of his name;
make his praise glorious.

³ Say to God, “How awe-inspiring are your works!
Your enemies will cringe before you
because of your great strength.

⁴ The whole earth will worship you
and sing praise to you.
They will sing praise to your name.”Selah

⁵ Come and see the wonders of God;
his acts for humanity are awe-inspiring.

⁶ He turned the sea into dry land,
and they crossed the river on foot.
There we rejoiced in him.

⁷ He rules forever by his might;
he keeps his eye on the nations.
The rebellious should not exalt themselves.Selah

⁸ Bless our God, you peoples;
let the sound of his praise be heard.

⁹ He keeps us alive
and does not allow our feet to slip.

¹⁰ For you, God, tested us;
you refined us as silver is refined.

¹¹ You lured us into a trap;
you placed burdens on our backs.

¹² You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us out to abundance.

¹³ I will enter your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay you my vows

¹⁴ that my lips promised
and my mouth spoke during my distress.

¹⁵ I will offer you fattened sheep as burnt offerings,
with the fragrant smoke of rams;
I will sacrifice bulls with goats.Selah

¹⁶ Come and listen, all who fear God,
and I will tell 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 been aware of malice in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.

¹⁹ However, God has listened;
he has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed be God!
He has not turned away my prayer
or turned his faithful love from me.
