Psalm 66

Psalm

A psalm written by David for the choir director.

66 God, it is right for us to praise you in Jerusalem

and to do what we have promised you that we would do

2 because you answer our prayers.

People everywhere will come to you

3 Our many sins are like a very heavy burden to us,

but you forgive us.

4 How fortunate are those whom you have chosen

to always be in your temple courtyards.

We will be satisfied with all the blessings that you will give us because we worship you in your sacred temple.

5 God, when we pray to you, you answer us and save us by doing awesome deeds;

you are the one who rescues us;

people who live in very remote places on the earth, on the other side of the oceans, trust in you.

6 You are the one who put the mountains in their places,

showing that you are very powerful.

7 You are the one who calms the seas when they roar,

and stop the waves from pounding on the shore;

you also calm people when they cause a lot of trouble.

8 People who live in very remote places on the earth

are awed by the miracles that you perform;

because of what you do,

people who live far to the west and far to the east shout joyfully.

9 You take care of the soil and send rain,

causing many good things to grow;

you fill the streams with water

and cause grain to grow.

This is what you have determined would happen.

10 You send plenty of rain on the fields that have been plowed,

and you fill the furrows with water.

With showers you soften the hard clods of soil,

and you bless the soil by causing young plants to grow.

11 Because you bless the soil, there are very good crops at harvest season;

wherever you have gone, good crops are very abundant.

12 The pastures in the wilderness are wet with the morning dew,

it is as though the hills are singing joyful songs.

13 The meadows are covered with sheep and goats,

and the valleys are full of grain;

it is as though they also sing and shout joyfully.

Psalm

A psalm that is a song for the choir director.

66 Tell everyone on the earth

that they should sing joyfully to praise God!

2 They should sing songs that say that God is very great,

and they should tell everyone that he is very glorious!

3 They should say to God, “The things that you do are awesome!

Your power is very great,

with the result that your enemies cringe in front of you.”

4 Everyone on the earth will worship God,

sing to praise him,

and honor him.

5 Come and think about what God has done!

Think about the awesome things that he has done among people.

6 He caused the sea to become dry land,

with the result that our ancestors were able to walk right through it.

There we rejoiced because of what he had done.

7 He rules forever by his power,

and he keeps watching all the nations to see what evil things they do.

The nations that want to rebel against him should not be proud.

8 You people of all nations, praise our God!

Praise him loudly in order that people will hear you as you praise him.

9 He has kept us alive,

and he has not allowed us to fall into disaster.

10 God, you have tested us;

you have allowed us to experience great difficulties to make our lives become pure

as people put precious metals in a hot fire to burn out what is impure.

11 It is as if you allowed us to fall into traps,

and you forced us to endure difficult things that were like heavy loads to carry on our backs.

12 You allowed our enemies to trample on us;

we experienced difficulties walking through fires and floods,

but now you have made us safe.

13 I will bring to your temple offerings that are to be completely burned on the altar;

I will offer to you what I promised.

14 When I was experiencing much trouble, I said that I would bring offerings to you if you rescued me;

and you did rescue me, so I will bring to you what I promised.

15 I will bring sheep to be burned on the altar,

and I will also sacrifice bulls and goats;

when they are burning, you will be pleased as the smoke rises up to you.

16 All you people who have a reverential respect for God, come and listen,

and I will tell you what he has done for me.

17 I called out to him to help me,

and I praised him while I was speaking to him.

18 If I had ignored the sins that I had committed,

the Lord would not have paid any attention to me.

19 But because I confessed my sins, God has listened to me

and has paid attention to my prayers.

20 I praise God

because he has not ignored my prayers;

he continues to love me as he promised in his covenant to do.
