Psalms 66
Superscription
A call to all the earth to praise God
זַמְּרוּ כְבֽוֹד-שְׁמוֹ שִׂימוּ כָבוֹד תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃
Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
אִמְרוּ לֵאלֹהִים מַה-נּוֹרָא מַעֲשֶׂיךָ בְּרֹב עֻזְּךָ יְֽכַחֲשׁוּ לְךָ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃
Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
כָּל-הָאָרֶץ׀ יִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְךָ וִֽיזַמְּרוּ-לָךְ יְזַמְּרוּ שִׁמְךָ סֶֽלָה׃
All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
Remembering God's works and the testing of the people
לְכוּ וּרְאוּ מִפְעֲלוֹת אֱלֹהִים נוֹרָא עֲלִילָה עַל-בְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃
Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
הָפַךְ יָם׀ לְֽיַבָּשָׁה בַּנָּהָר יַֽעַבְרוּ בְרָגֶל שָׁם נִשְׂמְחָה-בּֽוֹ׃
He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
מֹשֵׁל בִּגְבוּרָתוֹ׀ עוֹלָם עֵינָיו בַּגּוֹיִם תִּצְפֶּינָה הַסּוֹרְרִים׀ אַל-יָרוּמוּ לָמוֹ סֶֽלָה׃
He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
בָּרְכוּ עַמִּים׀ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְהַשְׁמִיעוּ קוֹל תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃
O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
הַשָּׂם נַפְשֵׁנוּ בַּֽחַיִּים וְלֹֽא-נָתַן לַמּוֹט רַגְלֵֽנוּ׃
Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
כִּֽי-בְחַנְתָּנוּ אֱלֹהִים צְרַפְתָּנוּ כִּצְרָף-כָּֽסֶף׃
For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
הֲבֵאתָנוּ בַמְּצוּדָה שַׂמְתָּ מוּעָקָה בְמָתְנֵֽינוּ׃
Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
הִרְכַּבְתָּ אֱנוֹשׁ לְרֹאשֵׁנוּ בָּֽאנוּ-בָאֵשׁ וּבַמַּיִם וַתּוֹצִיאֵנוּ לָֽרְוָיָֽה׃
Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
The psalmist's vows, offerings, and thanksgiving
אָבוֹא בֵיתְךָ בְעוֹלוֹת אֲשַׁלֵּם לְךָ נְדָרָֽי׃
I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
אֲשֶׁר-פָּצוּ שְׂפָתָי וְדִבֶּר-פִּי בַּצַּר-לִֽי׃
Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
עֹלוֹת מֵיחִים אַעֲלֶה-לָּךְ עִם-קְטֹרֶת אֵילִים אֶעֱשֶֽׂה בָקָר עִם-עַתּוּדִים סֶֽלָה׃
I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
לְכֽוּ-שִׁמְעוּ וַאֲסַפְּרָה כָּל-יִרְאֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃
Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
אֵלָיו פִּֽי-קָרָאתִי וְרוֹמַם תַּחַת לְשׁוֹנִֽי׃
I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
אָוֶן אִם-רָאִיתִי בְלִבִּי לֹא יִשְׁמַע׀ אֲדֹנָֽי׃
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
אָכֵן שָׁמַע אֱלֹהִים הִקְשִׁיב בְּקוֹל תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃
But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
בָּרוּךְ אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-הֵסִיר תְּפִלָּתִי וְחַסְדּוֹ מֵאִתִּֽי׃
Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
