Psalm 66
Jubilate Deo
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 18 verses
- 1
Be joyful in God, all you lands; *
sing the glory of his Name; sing the glory of his praise. - 2
Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! *
because of your great strength your enemies cringe before you. - 3
All the earth bows down before you, *
sings to you, sings out your Name." - 4
Come now and see the works of God, *
how wonderful he is in his doing toward all people. - 5
He turned the sea into dry land, so that they went through the water on foot, *
and there we rejoiced in him. - 6
In his might he rules for ever; his eyes keep watch over the nations; *
let no rebel rise up against him. - 7
Bless our God, you peoples; *
make the voice of his praise to be heard; - 8
Who holds our souls in life, *
and will not allow our feet to slip. - 9
For you, O God, have proved us; *
you have tried us just as silver is tried. - 10
You brought us into the snare; *
you laid heavy burdens upon our backs. - 11
You let enemies ride over our heads; we went through fire and water; *
but you brought us out into a place of refreshment. - 12
I will enter your house with burnt-offerings and will pay you my vows, *
which I promised with my lips and spoke with my mouth when I was in trouble. - 13
I will offer you sacrifices of fat beasts with the smoke of rams; *
I will give you oxen and goats. - 14
Come and listen, all you who fear God, *
and I will tell you what he has done for me. - 15
I called out to him with my mouth, *
and his praise was on my tongue. - 16
If I had found evil in my heart, *
the Lord would not have heard me; - 17
But in truth God has heard me; *
he has attended to the voice of my prayer. - 18
Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer, *
nor withheld his love from me.
