Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise! -

Tell God, 'How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, Your enemies will submit themselves to you. -

All the earth will worship you, And will sing to you; They will sing to your name.' Selah. -
|

Come, and see God's deeds -- Awesome work on behalf of the children of men. -

He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him. -
|

He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don't let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah. -

Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard, -
|
9 |
Who preserves our life among the living, And doesn't allow our feet to be moved. -

10 |
For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined. -
|
11 |
You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs. -

You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, But you brought us to the place of abundance. -

I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you, -
|
14 |
which my lips promised, And my mouth spoke, when I was in distress. -

I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, With the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah. -

Come, and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul. -

I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue. -
|
18 |
If I cherished sin in my heart, The Lord wouldn't have listened. -
|
19 |
But most assuredly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer. -
|
20 |
Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me. Psalm 67 For the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song. -
