The American Standard Version of 1901

Psalms 66

1

For the Chief Musician. A Song, a Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth:

2

Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious.

3

Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies 1 submit themselves unto thee. 1) Or yield feigned obedience ; Heb lie

4

All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. Selah

5

Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

6

He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There 1 did we rejoice in him. 1) Or let us rejoice

7

He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

8

Oh bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of his praise to be heard;

9

Who 1 holdeth our soul in life, And suffereth not our feet to be moved. 1) Heb putteth

10

For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

11

Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.

12

Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But thou broughtest us out into 1 a wealthy place. 1) Heb abundance

13

I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,

14

Which my lips uttered, And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.

15

I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah

16

Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17

I cried unto him with my mouth, And 1 he was extolled with my tongue. 1) Or as otherwise read high praise was under my tongue

18

If I 1 regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord 2 will not hear: 1) Or had regarded 2) Or would

19

But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20

Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me.
