PSALM 66
1 To victory, the song of[the]psalm. All the earth, make ye joy heartily to God,
2 say ye psalm to his name; give ye glory to his praising.
3 Say ye to God, Lord, thy works be full dreadful; in the multitude of thy virtue thine enemies shall lie down to thee.
4 God, all the earth worship thee, and sing to thee; say it psalm to thy name.
5 Come ye and see ye the works of God; fearedful in counsels on the sons of men.
6 Which turned the sea into dry land; in the flood they shall pass [through] with foot, there we shall be glad in him.
7 The which is Lord in his virtue without end, his eyes behold on folks; they that make sharp be not enhanced in themselves.
8 Ye heathen men, bless our God; and make ye heard the voice of his praising.
9 That hath set my soul to life, and gave not my feet into stirring.
10 For thou, God, hast proved us; thou hast examined us by fire, as silver is examined.
11 Thou leddest us into a snare, thou puttedest tribulations in our back;
12 thou settedest [or puttest] men on our heads. We passed by [or through] fire and water; and thou leddest us out into refreshing.
13 I shall enter into thine house in burnt sacrifices; I shall yield to thee my vows,
14 which my lips spake distinctly. And my mouth spake in my tribulation;
15 I shall offer to thee burnt sacrifices full of marrow, with the burning of rams; I shall offer to thee oxes [or oxen] with bucks of goats.
16 All ye that dread God, come and hear, and I shall tell; how great things he hath done to my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth; and I joyed fully [or full out joyed] under my tongue.
18 If I beheld wickedness in mine heart; the Lord shall not hear.
19 Therefore God heard; and he per-ceived the voice of my beseeching.
20 Blessed be God; that removed not my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
