Because of your great power your enemies cower in fear before you. 66:4 All the earth worships you and sings praises to you! They sing praises to your name !” (Selah ) 66:5 Come and witness God’s exploits ! His acts on behalf of people are awesome ! 66:6 He turned the sea into dry land ; they passed through the river on foot . Let us rejoice in him there ! 66:7 He rules by his power forever ; he watches the nations . Stubborn rebels should not exalt themselves. (Selah ) 66:8 Praise our God , you nations ! Loudly proclaim his praise ! 66:9 He preserves our lives and does not allow our feet to slip . 66:10 For you, O God , tested us; you purified us like refined silver . 66:11 You led us into a trap ; you caused us to suffer . 66:12 You allowed men to ride over our heads ; we passed through fire and water , but you brought us out into a wide open place.
