Psalm 66 GNTD

1 Praise God with shouts of joy, all people!

2 Sing to the glory of his name;offer him glorious praise!

3 Say to God, “How wonderful are the things you do!Your power is so greatthat your enemies bow down in fear before you.

4 Everyone on earth worships you;they sing praises to you,they sing praises to your name.”

5 Come and see what God has done,his wonderful acts among people.

6 He changed the sea into dry land;our ancestors crossed the river on foot.There we rejoiced because of what he did.

7 He rules forever by his mightand keeps his eyes on the nations.Let no rebels rise against him.

8 Praise our God, all nations;let your praise be heard.

9 He has kept us aliveand has not allowed us to fall.

10 You have put us to the test, God;as silver is purified by fire,so you have tested us.

11 You let us fall into a trapand placed heavy burdens on our backs.

12 You let our enemies trample us;we went through fire and flood,but now you have brought us to a place of safety.

13 I will bring burnt offerings to your house;I will offer you what I promised.

14 I will give you what I said I wouldwhen I was in trouble.

15 I will offer sheep to be burned on the altar;I will sacrifice bulls and goats,and the smoke will go up to the sky.

16 Come and listen, all who honor God,and I will tell you what he has done for me.

17 I cried to him for help;I praised him with songs.

18 If I had ignored my sins,the Lord would not have listened to me.

19 But God has indeed heard me;he has listened to my prayer.

20 I praise God,because he did not reject my prayeror keep back his constant love from me.
