Praise to God for His Awesome Works

To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm.

66 Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!² Sing out the honor of His name;Make His praise glorious.³ Say to God,“How awesome are Your works!Through the greatness of Your powerYour enemies shall submit themselves to You.⁴ All the earth shall worship YouAnd sing praises to You;They shall sing praises to Your name.” Selah

⁵ Come and see the works of God;He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.⁶ He turned the sea into dry land;They went through the river on foot.There we will rejoice in Him.⁷ He rules by His power forever;His eyes observe the nations;Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

⁸ Oh, bless our God, you peoples!And make the voice of His praise to be heard,⁹ Who keeps our soul among the living,And does not allow our feet to be moved.¹⁰ For You, O God, have tested us;You have refined us as silver is refined.¹¹ You brought us into the net;You laid affliction on our backs.¹² You have caused men to ride over our heads;We went through fire and through water;But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.

¹³ I will go into Your house with burnt offerings;I will pay You my vows,¹⁴ Which my lips have utteredAnd my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.¹⁵ I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals,With the sweet aroma of rams;I will offer bulls with goats. Selah

¹⁶ Come and hear, all you who fear God,And I will declare what He has done for my soul.¹⁷ I cried to Him with my mouth,And He was extolled with my tongue.¹⁸ If I regard iniquity in my heart,The Lord will not hear.¹⁹ But certainly God has heard me;He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed be God,Who has not turned away my prayer,Nor His mercy from me!
