  • Psalm 66:1-12

    Psalm 66

    For the music leader. A song. A psalm.

    66 Shout joyfully to God, all the earth!
    2     Sing praises to the glory of God’s name!
            Make glorious his praise!
    3 Say to God:
    “How awesome are your works!
        Because of your great strength,
            your enemies cringe before you.
    4 All the earth worships you,
        sings praises to you,
            sings praises to your name!” Selah

    5 Come and see God’s deeds;
        his works for human beings are awesome:
    6 He turned the sea into dry land
        so they could cross the river on foot.
            Right there we rejoiced in him!
    7 God rules with power forever;
        keeps a good eye on the nations.
            So don’t let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

    8 All you nations, bless our God!
        Let the sound of his praise be heard!
    9 God preserved us among the living;
        he didn’t let our feet slip a bit.

    10 But you, God, have tested us—
        you’ve refined us like silver,
    11     trapped us in a net,
        laid burdens on our backs,
    12     let other people run right over our heads—
        we’ve been through fire and water.

    But you brought us out to freedom!
