| Chapter 66 |
1 | To the Overseer. -- A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.
|
2 | Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.
|
3 | Say to God, 'How fearful [are] Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.
|
4 | All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah.
|
5 | Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.
|
6 | He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.
|
7 | Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.
|
8 | Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,
|
9 | Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.
|
10 | For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.
|
11 | Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.
|
12 | Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.
|
13 | I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,
|
14 | For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:
|
15 | 'Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.
|
16 | Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.
|
17 | Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.
|
18 | Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.
|
19 | But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
|
20 | Blessed [is] God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
