Moff PSA Chapter 66

66 From the Choirmaster’s collection. A song for music.

66 Sing homage, all the earth, to God,

2 sing out the glory fo his name,

and celebrate his praises.

3 Say this to God: “How dread thy deeds are!

thine enemies cower

before thy power;

4 all the earth bows to thee,

singing thy praise,

singing praise to thy name.”

5 Come and see what God has done,

how dread his deeds are among men.

6 He turns the sea to dry land,

till men cross floods on foot.

So let us joy in him

7 who rules for ever by his power,

whose eyes survey the nations,

till not a rebel dares to raise his head.

8 Bless our God, O nation,

sound his praise aloud,

9 who keeps us safe in life,

and never lets us come to grief.

10 For, though thou hast put us to the proof, O God,

testing our mettle, like silver,

11 though thou hast let us be captured,

let us be heavily chained,

12 let conquerors ride over us,

though we had to pass through fire and water,

yet thou hast granted us a rich relief,

past set us free in liberty.

13 So I enter thy house with sacrifices,

I will pay my vows to thee,

14 vows poured out by my lips,

vows uttered in my agony;

15 fat beasts I will offer thee,

the odour of burning rams,

bullocks and goats in sacrifice.

16 Come, all ye worshippers of God,

hear what he did for me:

17 no sooner had I called to him

than I was praising him for answering me.

18 Had I been thinking secretly of sin,

the Lord would never have listened;

19 but God has listened indeed,

and to my prayer he has paid heed.

20 Blessed be God who has not checked

my prayer to him, nor is own love to me.
