Psalms 66

A Call to Worship

1 Shout out loud to God, all you earth!

2 Sing the props of His name; Make His praise awesome.

3 Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Because of Your massive strength, Your enemies will turn back and get fake with You.

4 All the earth will bow down to You, And sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name.

A Hymn of Praise

5 Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doings with the sons of humans.

6 He turned the sea into dry land; They walked through the river by foot; There we were happy in Him.

7 He rules by His power forever; His eyes watch the nations; Do not let the wilding dudes act all big.

8 Bless our God, all you people; And make the sound of His praise be heard.

9 Who keeps our soul alive, And do not let our feet get shook.

A Confession of God’s Refinement

10 Because You tested us, God; You refined us like silver is refined.

11 You brought us into a trap; You put a heavy load on our backs.

12 You let humans ride over our heads; We went through fire and water; But You brought us out to a spot with a lot of stuff.

A Vow of Praise

13 I will come into Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay my promises to You,

14 Which my lips said, And my mouth spoke when I was in a tight spot.

15 I will offer You fat burnt offerings, with the smell of rams; I will offer bulls and goats.

16 Come and listen, all you who fear God, And I will tell you what He did for my soul.

17 I cried out to Him with my mouth, And He was praised with my tongue.

18 If I had thought about sin in my heart, The Lord would not have listened.

19 But God for sure heard; He listened to my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, Who did not turn away my prayer, Or His grace from me!
