| Chapter
66 |
1 | Make a
joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: |
2 | Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. |
3 | Say unto God, How terrible
art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies
submit themselves unto thee. |
4
| All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall
sing to thy name. Selah. |
5 |
Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the
children of men. |
6 | He
turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we
rejoice in him. |
7 | He
ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the
rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. |
8 | O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to
be heard: |
9 | Which holdeth
our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. |
10 | For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou
hast tried us, as silver is tried. |
11 | Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our
loins. |
12 | 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. |
13 | I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will
pay thee my vows, |
14 |
Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in
trouble. |
15 | I will offer
unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer
bullocks with goats. Selah. |
16
| Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath
done for my soul. |
17 | I
cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. |
18 | If I regard iniquity in my heart,
the Lord will not hear me: |
19
| But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my
prayer. |
20 | Blessed be
God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. |
