Tus obras son maravillosas

(1a) Del maestro de coro. Salmo, cántico.

66 (1b) Canten a Dios con alegría,
habitantes de toda la tierra;
canten himnos a su glorioso nombre;
cántenle gloriosas alabanzas.
Díganle a Dios:
«Tus obras son maravillosas.
Por tu gran poder
tus enemigos caen aterrados ante ti;
todo el mundo te adora
y canta himnos a tu nombre.»

Vengan a ver las obras de Dios,
las maravillas que ha hecho por los hombres:
convirtió el mar en tierra seca,
y nuestros antepasados cruzaron el río a pie;
¡alegrémonos en Dios!
Con su poder, gobierna para siempre;
vigila su mirada a las naciones,
para que los rebeldes
no se levanten contra él.

¡Naciones, bendigan a nuestro Dios!,
¡hagan resonar himnos de alabanza!
Porque nos ha mantenido con vida;
no nos ha dejado caer.

10 Dios nuestro, tú nos has puesto a prueba,
¡nos has purificado como a la plata!
11 Nos has hecho caer en la red;
nos cargaste con un gran peso.
12 Dejaste que un cualquiera nos pisoteara;
hemos pasado a través de agua y fuego,
pero al fin nos has dado respiro.

13 Entraré en tu templo y te ofreceré holocaustos;
así cumpliré mis promesas,
14 las promesas que te hice
cuando me hallaba en peligro.
15 Te presentaré holocaustos de animales engordados;
te ofreceré toros y machos cabríos,
y sacrificios de carneros.

16 ¡Vengan todos ustedes,
los que tienen temor de Dios!
¡Escuchen, que voy a contarles
lo que ha hecho por mí!
17 Con mis labios y mi lengua
lo llamé y lo alabé.
18 Si yo tuviera malos pensamientos,
el Señor no me habría escuchado;
19 ¡pero él me escuchó y atendió mis oraciones!

20 ¡Bendito sea Dios,
que no rechazó mi oración
ni me negó su amor!

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!

To the Director: A song. A Psalm.

A Song of Praise

66 Shout praise to God all the earth!
Sing praise about the glory of his name.[a]
    Make his praise glorious.
Say to God: “How awesome are your works!
    Because of your great strength
        your enemies cringe before you.”
The whole earth worships you.
    They sing praise to you.
        They sing praise to your name.
Interlude

Come and see the awesome works of God
    on behalf of human beings:
He turned the sea into dry land.
    Israel[b] crossed the river on foot;
        let us rejoice in him.
He rules by his power forever,
    his eyes watching over the nations.
        Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.
Interlude

Bless our God, people,
    and let the sound of his praise be heard.
He gives us life
    and does not permit our feet to slip.
10 For you, God, tested us,
    to purify us like fine silver.
11 You have led us into a trap[c]
    and set burdens on our backs.
12 You caused men to ride over us.[d]
    You brought us through fire and water,
        but you led us to abundance.

13 I will come to your house with burnt offerings.
    I will fulfill my vows to you
14 that my lips uttered and that my mouth spoke
    when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat,
    along with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams.
        I will offer bulls along with goats.
Interlude

16 Come and listen, all of you who fear God,
    and I will tell you what he did for me.
17 I called aloud to him
    and praised him with my tongue.
18 Were I to cherish iniquity in my heart,
    the Lord would not listen to me.
19 Surely God has heard,
    and he paid attention to my[e] prayers.
20 Blessed be God, who did not turn away my prayers
    nor his gracious love from me.
