For the music director; a song, a psalm.
66:1 Shout out praise to God, all the earth!
66:2 Sing praises about the majesty of his reputation!
Give him the honor he deserves!
66:3 Say to God:
“How awesome are your deeds!
Because of your great power your enemies cower in fear
66:4 All the earth worships
and sings praises to you!
They sing praises to your name!” (Selah)
66:5 Come and witness
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
he watches
Stubborn rebels should not exalt
66:8 Praise
Loudly proclaim his praise!
66:9 He preserves our lives
and does not allow our feet to slip.
66:10 For
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.
