Psalm 66

New Coverdale Version

Be joyful in God, all you lands; * sing praises to the honor of his Name; make his praise to be glorious.

Say to God, “How wonderful are your works; * through the greatness of your power shall your enemies cower before you.

For all the world shall worship you, * sing to you, and praise your Name.”

O come and see the works of God, * how wonderful he is in his doing toward all people.

He turned the sea into dry land, so that they went through the water on foot; * therefore in him let us rejoice.

He rules with his power for ever; his eyes keep watch over the nations; * let not the rebellious exalt themselves.

Bless our God, you peoples, * and make the voice of his praise to be heard,

Who holds our soul in life, * and does not allow our feet to slip.

For you, O God, have proved us; * you have tried us, as silver is tried.

You brought us into the snare * and laid trouble upon our backs.

You allowed men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and water; * but you brought us out into a place of plenty.

I will go into your house with burnt offerings * and will pay you my vows,

Even those which I promised with my lips * and spoke with my mouth when I was in trouble.

I will offer you burnt sacrifices of fattened beasts, with the incense of rams; * I will offer bullocks and goats.

Come here and listen, all you who fear God, * and I will tell you what he has done for me.

I called to him with my mouth, * and gave him praises with my tongue.

If I had inclined toward wickedness with my heart, * the Lord would not have heard me.

But God has heard me * and considered the voice of my prayer.

Blessed be God who has not refused my prayer, * nor turned his mercy from me.
