Psalm 66:1-7

Psalm 66[a]

Praise of God, Israel’s Deliverer

For the leader. A song; a psalm.

I

Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;
    sing of his glorious name;
    give him glorious praise.(A)
Say to God: “How awesome your deeds!
    Before your great strength your enemies cringe.
All the earth falls in worship before you;(B)
    they sing of you, sing of your name!”
Selah

II

[b]Come and see the works of God,
    awesome in deeds before the children of Adam.
He changed the sea to dry land;
    through the river they passed on foot.(C)
There we rejoiced in him,
    who rules by his might forever,
His eyes are fixed upon the nations.
    Let no rebel rise to challenge!
Selah
