New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Psalm 66

Praise for God’s Goodness to Israel

To the leader. A Song. A Psalm.

1 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;(A)
2     sing the glory of his name;
    give to him glorious praise.(B)
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
    Because of your great power, your enemies cringe before you.(C)
4 All the earth worships you;
    they sing praises to you,
    sing praises to your name.” Selah(D)

5 Come and see what God has done:
    he is awesome in his deeds among mortals.(E)
6 He turned the sea into dry land;
    they passed through the river on foot.
There we rejoiced in him,(F)
7     who rules by his might forever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations—
    let the rebellious not exalt themselves. Selah(G)

8 Bless our God, O peoples;
    let the sound of his praise be heard,(H)
9 who has kept us among the living
    and has not let our feet slip.(I)
10 For you, O God, have tested us;
    you have tried us as silver is tried.(J)
11 You brought us into the net;
    you laid burdens on our backs;(K)
