Psalm 66:1-9

Psalm 66 1For the director of music. A song. A psalm. Shout for joy to God, all the earth!

2Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious.

3Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.

4All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing the praises of your name.” The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verses 7 and 15.

5Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind!

6He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot— come, let us rejoice in him.

7He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations— let not the rebellious rise up against him.

8Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;

9he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.
