Psalms 66

2  sing the glory of His name, make glorious His praise.

3  Say to Hashem, “How awesome are Your deeds, Your enemies cower before Your great strength;

4  all the earth bows to You, and sings hymns to You; all sing hymns to Your name.” Selah.

5  Come and see the works of Hashem, who is held in awe by men for His acts.

6  He turned the sea into dry land; they crossed the river on foot; we therefore rejoice in Him.

7  He rules forever in His might; His eyes scan the nations; let the rebellious not assert themselves. Selah.

8  O peoples, bless our God, celebrate His praises;

9  who has granted us life, and has not let our feet slip.

10  You have tried us, O Hashem, refining us, as one refines silver.

11  You have caught us in a net, caught us in trammels.

12  You have let men ride over us; we have endured fire and water, and You have brought us through to prosperity.

13  I enter Your house with burnt offerings, I pay my vows to You,

14  [vows] that my lips pronounced, that my mouth uttered in my distress.

15  I offer up fatlings to You, with the odor of burning rams; I sacrifice bulls and he-goats. Selah.

16  Come and hear, all Hashem-fearing men, as I tell what He did for me.

17  I called aloud to Him, glorification on my tongue.

18  Had I an evil thought in my mind, Hashem would not have listened.

19  But Hashem did listen; He paid heed to my prayer.

20  Blessed is Hashem who has not turned away my prayer, or His faithful care from me.
