Psalm 66. Jubilate Deo.

1. O BE joyful in God, all ye lands; *
   sing praises unto the honour of his Name; make his praise to be glorious.
2. Say unto God, O how wonderful art thou in thy works! *
   through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies bow down unto thee.
3. For all the world shall worship thee, *
   sing of thee, and praise thy Name.
4. O come hither, and behold the works of God; *
   how wonderful he is in his doing toward the children of men.
5. He turned the sea into dry land, *
   so that they went through the water on foot; there did we rejoice thereof.
6. He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: *
   and such as will not believe shall not be able to exalt themselves.
7. O praise our God, ye peoples, *
   and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
8. Who holdeth our soul in life; *
   and suffereth not our feet to slip.
9. For thou, O God, hast proved us; *
   thou also hast tried us, like as silver is tried.
10. Thou broughtest us into the snare; *
    and laidest trouble upon our loins.
11. Thou sufferedst men to ride over our heads; *
    we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
12. I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings, and will pay thee my vows, *
    which I promised with my lips, and spake with my mouth, when I was in trouble.
13. I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the incense of rams; *
    I will offer bullocks and goats.
14. O come hither, and hearken, all ye that fear God; *
    and I will tell you what he hath done for my soul.
15. I called unto him with my mouth, *
    and gave him praises with my tongue.
16. If I incline unto wickedness with mine heart, *
    the Lord will not hear me.
17. But God hath heard me; *
    and considered the voice of my prayer.
18. Praised be God, who hath not cast out my prayer, *
    nor turned his mercy from me.
