Psalmen 66
BasisBijbel
Psalm 66
1 Een lied. Voor de leider van het koor.
2 Juich voor God, iedereen op aarde!
Zing dankliederen ter ere van Hem.
Prijs Hem voor wie Hij is!
3 Zeg tegen God:
"Wat doet U geweldige dingen!
Uw vijanden doen alsof ze U eren,
omdat ze bang voor U zijn.
4 Laten alle mensen U aanbidden
en liederen voor U zingen."
5 Kijk eens wat God allemaal doet!
Zijn wonderen voor de mensen zijn zó indrukwekkend!
6 Hij spleet de zee.[a]
En droogvoets konden we de rivier oversteken.[b]
Daarom vierden we daar feest voor Hem.
7 Door zijn macht heerst Hij voor eeuwig.
Hij ziet alles wat de volken doen.
Met zijn vijanden zal het slecht aflopen.
8 Volken, prijs onze God!
Vertel iedereen wat Hij doet!
9 Hij redt ons leven.
Dankzij Hem gaat het weer goed met ons.
10 U maakt ons zoals U ons hebben wil.
Net zoals in de smelt-oven zilver wordt gezuiverd,
zo maakt U ons zuiver door moeilijkheden heen.
11 U bracht ons in het nauw.
U liet de volken ons bedreigen.
12 Zij overheersten ons.
Het was alsof U ons door het vuur en het water liet gaan.
Maar U heeft ons ook gered.
U heeft ervoor gezorgd dat het weer goed met ons gaat.
13 Ik zal naar uw heiligdom gaan,
en U brand-offers brengen.
14 Ik zal U de offers brengen die ik aan U heb beloofd
toen ik in moeilijkheden zat.
15 Ik zal U geiten en schapen offeren,
brand-offers brengen van koeien en geiten.
16 Als je diep ontzag voor God hebt,
kom dan naar mij luisteren.
Dan zal ik vertellen wat Hij voor mij heeft gedaan.
17 Ik had de Heer nog maar nét om hulp geroepen,
of ik kon Hem al danken.
18 Als ik oneerlijke plannen had gehad,
zou de Heer niet naar me hebben geluisterd.
19 Maar God hééft naar me geluisterd.
Hij heeft mijn gebed beantwoord.
20 Prijs God! Hij heeft naar me geluisterd
en is goed voor mij geweest.

Psalm 66
New King James Version
Praise to God for His Awesome Works
To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm.
66 Make (A)a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
2 Sing out the honor of His name;
Make His praise glorious.
3 Say to God,
“How (B)awesome are Your works!
(C)Through the greatness of Your power
Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.
4 (D)All the earth shall worship You
And sing praises to You;
They shall sing praises to Your name.” Selah
5 Come and see the works of God;
He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.
6 (E)He turned the sea into dry land;
(F)They went through the river on foot.
There we will rejoice in Him.
7 He rules by His power forever;
His eyes observe the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8 Oh, bless our God, you peoples!
And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
9 Who keeps our soul among the living,
And does not allow our feet to [a]be moved.
10 For (G)You, O God, have tested us;
(H)You have refined us as silver is refined.
11 (I)You brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.
12 (J)You have caused men to ride over our heads;
(K)We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to [b]rich fulfillment.
13 (L)I will go into Your house with burnt offerings;
(M)I will pay You my [c]vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered
And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals,
With the sweet aroma of rams;
I will offer bulls with goats. Selah
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was [d]extolled with my tongue.
18 (N)If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear.
19 But certainly God (O)has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!

Psalm 66
Hoffnung für Alle
Kommt und seht, was Gott getan hat!
66 Ein Lied.
Jubelt Gott zu, all ihr Menschen auf der Erde!
2 Singt und musiziert zu seiner Ehre,
stimmt ein Loblied an auf seine Größe und Pracht!
3 Sprecht zu Gott: »Wie ehrfurchtgebietend sind deine Taten!
Vor deiner Macht müssen sogar deine Feinde sich beugen.
4 Alle Völker der Erde werden dich anbeten,
sie werden dich preisen und deinen Namen besingen.«
5 Kommt und seht, was Gott getan hat;
wie ehrfurchtgebietend sind seine Taten unter den Menschen!
6 Er teilte das Meer und ließ sein Volk hindurchziehen,
trockenen Fußes konnten sie das Wasser durchqueren.
Darum freuen wir uns über Gott!
7 Ja, er hat alle Macht und regiert für immer und ewig.
Er schaut auf die Völker – ihm entgeht nichts.
Wer kann schon gegen ihn bestehen?
8 Ihr Völker, preist unseren Gott!
Lobt ihn laut, dass alle es hören!
9 Gott erhält uns am Leben,
er lässt uns nicht untergehen.
10 Du, o Gott, hast uns geprüft,
du hast uns geläutert wie Silber im Schmelzofen:
11 Du hast uns in die Falle laufen lassen
und schwere Lasten auf unsere Schultern gelegt.
12 Andere Menschen trampelten auf uns herum,
durch viele Feuerproben mussten wir hindurch[a] –
aber du hast uns aus der Gefahr befreit
und uns mehr gegeben, als wir brauchten.
13 Ich komme jetzt mit Brandopfern in dein Heiligtum
und löse meine Versprechen ein,
14 die ich in meiner Not hinausgeschrien habe.
15 Nun bringe ich dir die wertvollsten Opfertiere:
fette Widder, Rinder und Ziegenböcke.
Ihr Rauch soll aufsteigen zu dir.
16 Kommt und hört mir zu, ihr, die ihr Gott achtet und ehrt,
ich will euch erzählen, was er für mich getan hat.
17 Als ich zu ihm um Hilfe schrie, wusste ich:
Gott wird mir helfen! Deshalb begann ich, ihn zu preisen.
18 Hätte ich Böses im Sinn gehabt,
dann hätte der Herr mich nicht erhört.
19 Aber er hat mich erhört,
mein Gebet hat er angenommen.
20 Gelobt sei Gott, denn er hat meine Bitten nicht verachtet
und mir seine Liebe nicht entzogen.

Psalm 66
New International Version
Psalm 66
For the director of music. A song. A psalm.
1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth!(A)
2 Sing the glory of his name;(B)
make his praise glorious.(C)
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!(D)
So great is your power
that your enemies cringe(E) before you.
4 All the earth bows down(F) to you;
they sing praise(G) to you,
they sing the praises of your name.”[a]
5 Come and see what God has done,
his awesome deeds(H) for mankind!
6 He turned the sea into dry land,(I)
they passed through(J) the waters on foot—
come, let us rejoice(K) in him.
7 He rules forever(L) by his power,
his eyes watch(M) the nations—
let not the rebellious(N) rise up against him.
8 Praise(O) our God, all peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard;
9 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!

Psalm 66
King James Version
66 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 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.
