Psalms 66

לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ שִׁ֣יר מִזְמ֑וֹר הָרִ֥יעוּ לֵ֝אלֹהִים כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

For the choirmaster. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth!

To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm.

Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

זַמְּר֥וּ כְבֽוֹד־שְׁמ֑וֹ שִׂ֥ימוּ כָ֝ב֗וֹד תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃

Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.

Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃

Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.

Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

כָּל־הָאָ֤רֶץ ׀ יִשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לְ֭ךָ וִֽיזַמְּרוּ־לָ֑ךְ יְזַמְּר֖וּ שִׁמְךָ֣ סֶֽלָה׃

All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You; they sing praise to Your name.” Selah

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

לְכ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ מִפְעֲל֣וֹת אֱלֹהִ֑ים נוֹרָ֥א עֲ֝לִילָ֗ה עַל־בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃

Come and see the works of God; how awesome are His deeds toward mankind.

Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

הָ֤פַךְ יָ֨ם ׀ לְֽיַבָּשָׁ֗ה בַּ֭נָּהָר יַֽעַבְר֣וּ בְרָ֑גֶל שָׁ֝֗ם נִשְׂמְחָה־בּֽוֹ׃

He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the waters on foot; there we rejoiced in Him.

He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

מֹ֘שֵׁ֤ל בִּגְבוּרָת֨וֹ ׀ עוֹלָ֗ם עֵ֭ינָיו בַּגּוֹיִ֣ם תִּצְפֶּ֑ינָה הַסּוֹרְרִ֓ים ׀ אַל־(ירימו) [יָר֖וּמוּ] לָ֣מוֹ סֶֽלָה׃

He rules forever by His power; His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

בָּרְכ֖וּ עַמִּ֥ים ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְ֝הַשְׁמִ֗יעוּ ק֣וֹל תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃

Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard.

O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

הַשָּׂ֣ם נַ֭פְשֵׁנוּ בַּֽחַיִּ֑ים וְלֹֽא־נָתַ֖ן לַמּ֣וֹט רַגְלֵֽנוּ׃

He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from slipping.

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

כִּֽי־בְחַנְתָּ֥נוּ אֱלֹהִ֑ים צְ֝רַפְתָּ֗נוּ כִּצְרָף־כָּֽסֶף׃

For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver.

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

הֲבֵאתָ֥נוּ בַמְּצוּדָ֑ה שַׂ֖מְתָּ מוּעָקָ֣ה בְמָתְנֵֽינוּ׃

You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs.

Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

הִרְכַּ֥בְתָּ אֱנ֗וֹשׁ לְרֹ֫אשֵׁ֥נוּ בָּֽאנוּ־בָאֵ֥שׁ וּבַמַּ֑יִם וַ֝תּוֹצִיאֵ֗נוּ לָֽרְוָיָֽה׃

You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us into abundance.

Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

אָב֣וֹא בֵיתְךָ֣ בְעוֹל֑וֹת אֲשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְךָ֣ נְדָרָֽי׃

I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—

I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

אֲשֶׁר־פָּצ֥וּ שְׂפָתָ֑י וְדִבֶּר־פִּ֝֗י בַּצַּר־לִֽי׃

the vows that my lips promised and my mouth spoke in my distress.

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

עֹ֘ל֤וֹת מֵחִ֣ים אַעֲלֶה־לָּ֭ךְ עִם־קְטֹ֣רֶת אֵילִ֑ים אֶ֥עֱשֶֽׂה בָקָ֖ר עִם־עַתּוּדִ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃

I will offer You fatlings as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah

I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

לְכֽוּ־שִׁמְע֣וּ וַ֭אֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־יִרְאֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר עָשָׂ֣ה לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃

Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me.

Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

אֵלָ֥יו פִּֽי־קָרָ֑אתִי וְ֝רוֹמַ֗ם תַּ֣חַת לְשׁוֹנִֽי׃

I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.

I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

אָ֭וֶן אִם־רָאִ֣יתִי בְלִבִּ֑י לֹ֖א יִשְׁמַ֣ע ׀ אֲדֹנָֽי׃

If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

אָ֭כֵן שָׁמַ֣ע אֱלֹהִ֑ים הִ֝קְשִׁ֗יב בְּק֣וֹל תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃

But God has surely heard; He has attended to the sound of my prayer.

But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

בָּר֥וּךְ אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־הֵסִ֘יר תְּפִלָּתִ֥י וְ֝חַסְדּ֗וֹ מֵאִתִּֽי׃

Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld from me His loving devotion!

Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
