1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

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 Overseer.—A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all the earth.

 66:2 Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His praise.

 66:3 Say to God, 'How fearful [are] Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

 66:4 All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee, they praise Thy name.' Selah.

 66:5 Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the sons of men.

 66:6 He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him.

 66:7 Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah.

 66:8 Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His praise,

 66:9 Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet to be moved.

 66:10 For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.

 66:11 Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure on our loins.

 66:12 Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered place.

 66:13 I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,

 66:14 For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:

 66:15 'Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.

 66:16 Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

 66:17 Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation [is] under my tongue.

 66:18 Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.

 66:19 But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

 66:20 Blessed [is] God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And His loving-kindness, from me!
