Psalm 66 For the director of music. A song. A psalm.

1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth! 2     Sing the glory of his name;     make his praise glorious. 3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!     So great is your power     that your enemies cringe before you. 4 All the earth bows down to you;     they sing praise to you,     they sing the praises of your name.”[a]

5 Come and see what God has done,     his awesome deeds for mankind! 6 He turned the sea into dry land,     they passed through the waters on foot—     come, let us rejoice in him. 7 He rules forever by his power,     his eyes watch the nations—     let not the rebellious rise up against him.

8 Praise our God, all peoples,     let the sound of his praise be heard; 9 he has preserved our lives     and kept our feet from slipping. 10 For you, God, tested us;     you refined us like silver. 11 You brought us into prison     and laid burdens on our backs. 12 You let people ride over our heads;     we went through fire and water,     but you brought us to a place of abundance.
