Psalms 66 NCV

Praise God for What He Has Done

1 Everything on earth, shout with joy to God!

2 Sing about his glory!Make his praise glorious!

3 Say to God, “Your works are amazing!Because your power is great,your enemies fall before you.

4 All the earth worships youand sings praises to you.They sing praises to your name.”Selah

5 Come and see what God has done,the amazing things he has done for people.

6 He turned the sea into dry land.The people crossed the river on foot.So let us rejoice because of what he did.

7 He rules forever with his power.He keeps his eye on the nations,so people should not turn against him.Selah

8 You people, praise our God;loudly sing his praise.

9 He protects our livesand does not let us be defeated.

10 God, you have tested us;you have purified us like silver.

11 You let us be trappedand put a heavy load on us.

12 You let our enemies walk on our heads.We went through fire and flood,but you brought us to a place with good things.

13 I will come to your Temple with burnt offerings.I will give you what I promised,

14 things I promised when I was in trouble.

15 I will bring you offerings of fat animals,and I will offer sheep, bulls, and goats.Selah

16 All of you who fear God, come and listen,and I will tell you what he has done for me.

17 I cried out to him with my mouthand praised him with my tongue.

18 If I had known of any sin in my heart,the Lord would not have listened to me.

19 But God has listened;he has heard my prayer.

20 Praise God,who did not ignore my prayeror hold back his love from me.
