Psalms 66:1-20

Everything on earth, shout with joy to God! Sing about his glory! Make his praise glorious! Say to God, “Your works are amazing! Because your power is great, your enemies fall before you. All the earth worships you and sings praises to you. They sing praises to your name.”Selah Come and see what God has done, the amazing things he has done for people. He turned the sea into dry land. The people crossed the river on foot. So let us rejoice because of what he did. He rules forever with his power. He keeps his eye on the nations, so people should not turn against him.Selah You people, praise our God; loudly sing his praise. He protects our lives and does not let us be defeated. God, you have tested us; you have purified us like silver. You let us be trapped and put a heavy load on us. You let our enemies walk on our heads. We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place with good things. I will come to your Temple with burnt offerings. I will give you what I promised, things I promised when I was in trouble. I will bring you offerings of fat animals, and I will offer sheep, bulls, and goats.Selah All of you who fear God, come and listen, and I will tell you what he has done for me. I cried out to him with my mouth and praised him with my tongue. If I had known of any sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened to me. But God has listened; he has heard my prayer. Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or hold back his love from me.
