תהילים ס״וPsalms 66

For the leader. A song. A psalm.
Raise a shout for God, all the earth;

sing the glory of God’s name,
make glorious God’s praise.

Say to God,
“How awesome are Your deeds,
Your enemies cower before Your great strength;

all the earth bows to You,
and sings hymns to You;
all sing hymns to Your name.” Selah.

Come and see the works of God,
who is held in awe by mortals for acts divine,

and who turned the sea into dry land:
Israel crossed the river on foot;
we therefore rejoice in [God].

[God] rules forever with divine might,
eyes scanning the nations—
not letting the rebellious assert themselves. Selah.

O peoples, bless our God;
celebrate with praises

the One who has granted us life,
and has not let our feet slip.

You have tried us, O God,
refining us, as one refines silver.

You have caught us in a net,
caught us in trammels.

You have let people ride over us;
we have endured fire and water,
and You have brought us through to prosperity.

I enter Your house with burnt offerings,
I pay my vows to You,

[vows] that my lips pronounced,
that my mouth uttered in my distress.

I offer up fatlings to You,
with the odor of burning rams;
I sacrifice bulls and he-goats. Selah.

Come and hear, all you who fear God,
as I tell what was done for me.

I called aloud to [God],
glorification on my tongue.

Had I an evil thought in my mind,
my Sovereign would not have listened.

But God did listen—
paying heed to my prayer.

Blessed is God who has not turned away my prayer,
or faithful care, from me.
