Praise for God’s Goodness to Israel

To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.

66 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
    sing the glory of his name;
    give to him glorious praise!
Say to God, “How terrible are thy deeds!
    So great is thy power that thy enemies cringe before thee.
All the earth worships thee;
    they sing praises to thee,
    sing praises to thy name.”Selah

Come and see what God has done:
    he is terrible in his deeds among men.
He turned the sea into dry land;
    men passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in him,
    who rules by his might for ever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations—
    let not the rebellious exalt themselves.Selah

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.
