Alabanza por los portentos de Dios

Al músico principal. Cántico. Salmo.

66 Ustedes, habitantes de toda la tierra,
¡aclamen a Dios con alegría!
¡Canten salmos a la gloria de su nombre!
¡Cántenle gloriosas alabanzas!
Digan a Dios: «¡Tus obras son asombrosas!
¡Con tu gran poder sometes a tus enemigos!»
¡Toda la tierra te rinde adoración
y canta salmos a tu nombre!

Vengan a ver las obras de Dios,
sus hechos sorprendentes en favor de los hombres.
Convirtió el mar en terreno seco,(A)
y ellos cruzaron el río por su propio pie.(B)
¡Alegrémonos por lo que hizo allí!
Por su poder, él nos gobierna para siempre;
sus ojos vigilan atentamente a las naciones;
por eso los rebeldes no lograrán levantarse.

Pueblos todos: ¡bendigan a nuestro Dios!
¡Hagan resonar la voz de su alabanza!
Tú, Señor, nos has preservado la vida,
y no has dejado que resbalen nuestros pies.
10 Tú, Dios nuestro, nos has puesto a prueba;
nos has refinado como se refina la plata.
11 Pero nos dejaste caer en la trampa;
¡impusiste sobre nosotros una pesada carga!
12 Caballos y jinetes han pasado sobre nosotros;
hemos pasado por el fuego y por el agua,
pero al final nos has llevado a la abundancia.

13 Entraré en tu templo con holocaustos,
y allí te cumpliré mis promesas,
14 las promesas que, en mi angustia,
pronuncié con mis propios labios.
15 Te ofreceré holocaustos de los mejores animales,
te ofreceré sahumerio de carneros
y sacrificios de bueyes y machos cabríos.

16 Ustedes todos, los que temen a Dios,
vengan y escuchen lo que él ha hecho conmigo.
17 Con mis labios le pedí ayuda;
con mi lengua exalté su nombre.
18 Si mi corazón se hubiera fijado en la maldad,
el Señor no me habría escuchado.
19 Pero lo cierto es que Dios me escuchó
y atendió a la voz de mi súplica.

20 ¡Bendito sea Dios,
que no rechazó mi oración
ni me escatimó su misericordia!

66 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

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

O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

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.

Psalm 66

For the director of music. A song. A psalm.

Shout for joy to God, all the earth!(A)
    Sing the glory of his name;(B)
    make his praise glorious.(C)
Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!(D)
    So great is your power
    that your enemies cringe(E) before you.
All the earth bows down(F) to you;
    they sing praise(G) to you,
    they sing the praises of your name.”[a]

Come and see what God has done,
    his awesome deeds(H) for mankind!
He turned the sea into dry land,(I)
    they passed through(J) the waters on foot—
    come, let us rejoice(K) in him.
He rules forever(L) by his power,
    his eyes watch(M) the nations—
    let not the rebellious(N) rise up against him.

Praise(O) our God, all peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard;
he has preserved our lives(P)
    and kept our feet from slipping.(Q)
10 For you, God, tested(R) us;
    you refined us like silver.(S)
11 You brought us into prison(T)
    and laid burdens(U) on our backs.
12 You let people ride over our heads;(V)
    we went through fire and water,
    but you brought us to a place of abundance.(W)

13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings(X)
    and fulfill my vows(Y) to you—
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
    when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
    and an offering of rams;
    I will offer bulls and goats.(Z)

16 Come and hear,(AA) all you who fear God;
    let me tell(AB) you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
    his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened;(AC)
19 but God has surely listened
    and has heard(AD) my prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
    who has not rejected(AE) my prayer
    or withheld his love from me!
