Psalms 66 MP1650

1 All lands to God in joyful sounds,aloft your voices raise.

2 Sing forth the honour of his name,and glorious make his praise.

3 Say unto God, How terriblein all thy works art thou!Through thy great pow'r thy foes to theeshall be constrain'd to bow.

4 All on the earth shall worship thee,they shall thy praise proclaimIn songs: they shall sing cheerfullyunto thy holy name.

5 Come, and the works that God hath wroughtwith admiration see:In's working to the sons of menmost terrible is he.

6 Into dry land the sea he turn'd,and they a passage had;Ev'n marching through the flood on foot,there we in him were glad.

7 He ruleth ever by his pow'r;his eyes the nations see:O let not the rebellious oneslift up themselves on high.

8 Ye people, bless our God; aloudthe voice speak of his praise:

9 Our soul in life who safe preserves,our foot from sliding stays.

10 For thou didst prove and try us, Lord,as men do silver try;

11 Brought'st us into the net,and mad'st bands on our loins to lie.

12 Thou hast caus'd men ride o'er our heads;and though that we did passThrough fire and water, yet thou brought'stus to a wealthy place.

13 I'll bring burnt off 'rings to thy house;to thee my vows I'll pay,

14 Which my lips utter'd, my mouth spake,when trouble on me lay.

15 Burnt-sacrifices of fat ramswith incense I will bring;Of bullocks and of goats I willpresent an offering.

16 All that fear God, come, hear, I'll tellwhat he did for my soul.

17 I with my mouth unto him cry'd,my tongue did him extol.

18 If in my heart I sin regard,the Lord me will not hear:

19 But surely God me heard,and to my prayer's voice gave ear.

20 O let the Lord, our gracious God,for ever blessed be,Who turned not my pray'r from him,nor yet his grace from me.
