1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

Psalms 66

1 David exhorteth to praise God, 5 to observe his great works, 8 to bless him for his gracious benefits. 12 He voweth for himself religious service to God. 16 He declareth God's special goodness to himself.

 66:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician. A Song: a Psalm.]] Shout aloud unto God, all the earth:

 66:2 Sing forth the glory of his name, make his praise glorious;

 66:3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! because of the greatness of thy strength, thine enemies come cringing unto thee.

 66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, and sing psalms unto thee: they shall sing forth thy name. Selah.

 66:5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in [his] doings toward the children of men.

 66:6 He turned the sea into dry [land]; they went through the river on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

 66:7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes observe the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

 66:8 Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

 66:9 Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

 66:10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

 66:11 Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins;

 66:12 Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.

 66:13 I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee,

 66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

 66:15 I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

 66:16 Come, hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

 66:17 I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

 66:18 Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.

 66:19 But God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

 66:20 Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!
