Psalm 66
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Praise for God’s Goodness to Israel
To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.
66 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
2     sing the glory of his name;
    give to him glorious praise!
3 Say to God, “How terrible are thy deeds!
    So great is thy power that thy enemies cringe before thee.
4 All the earth worships thee;
    they sing praises to thee,
    sing praises to thy name.”Selah
5 Come and see what God has done:
    he is terrible in his deeds among men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land;
    men passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
7     who rules by his might for ever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations—
    let not the rebellious exalt themselves.Selah
8 Bless our God, O peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard,
9 who has kept us among the living,
    and has not let our feet slip.
10 For thou, O God, hast tested us;
    thou hast tried us as silver is tried.
11 Thou didst bring us into the net;
    thou didst lay affliction on our loins;
12 thou didst let men ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and through water;
yet thou hast brought us forth to a spacious place.[a]
13 I will come into thy house with burnt offerings;
    I will pay thee my vows,
14 that which my lips uttered
    and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to thee burnt offerings of fatlings,
    with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats.Selah
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
    and I will tell what he has done for me.
17 I cried aloud to him,
    and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened.
19 But truly God has listened;
    he has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God,
    because he has not rejected my prayer
    or removed his steadfast love from me!
