Psalm 66

NASB

Psalm 66

Praise for God’s Mighty Deeds and for His Answer to Prayer.

^{Tools
1} For the choir director. A Song. A Psalm.

^(A)Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

^{Tools
2}

Sing the ^(B)glory of His name;
Make His ^(C)praise glorious.

^{Tools
3}

Say to God, “How ^(D)awesome are Your works!
Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will ^(a)^(E)give feigned obedience to You.

^{Tools
4}

“^(F)All the earth will worship You,
And will ^(G)sing praises to You;
They will sing praises to Your name.” ^(b)Selah.

^{Tools
5}

^(H)Come and see the works of God,
Who is ^(I)awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

^{Tools
6}

He ^(J)turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through ^(K)the river on foot;
There let us ^(L)rejoice in Him!

^{Tools
7}

He ^(M)rules by His might forever;
His ^(N)eyes keep watch on the nations;
Let not the rebellious ^(O)exalt themselves. Selah.

^{Tools
8}

Bless our God, O peoples,
And ^(c)^(P)sound His praise abroad,

^{Tools
9}

Who ^(d)^(Q)keeps us in life
And ^(R)does not allow our feet to ^(e)slip.

^{Tools
10}

For You have ^(S)tried us, O God;
You have ^(T)refined us as silver is refined.

^{Tools
11}

You ^(U)brought us into the net;
You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.

^{Tools
12}

You made men ^(V)ride over our heads;
We went through ^(W)fire and through water,
Yet You ^(X)brought us out into a place of abundance.

^{Tools
13}

I shall ^(Y)come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I shall ^(Z)pay You my vows,

^{Tools
14}

Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke when I was ^(AA)in distress.

^{Tools
15}

I shall ^(AB)offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts,
With the smoke of ^(AC)rams;
I shall make an offering of ^(f)bulls with male goats. Selah.

^{Tools
16}

^(AD)Come and hear, all who ^(g)fear God,
And I will ^(AE)tell of what He has done for my soul.

^{Tools
17}

I cried to Him with my mouth,
And ^(h)He was ^(AF)extolled with my tongue.

^{Tools
18}

If I ⁽ⁱ⁾^(AG)regard wickedness in my heart,
The ^(AH)Lord ^(j)will not ^(k)hear;

^{Tools
19}

But certainly ^(AI)God has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

^{Tools
20}

^(AJ)Blessed be God,
Who ^(AK)has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.
