Psalm 66

1 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
2     sing the glory of his name;
    give to him glorious praise.
3 Say to God, ‘How awesome are your deeds!
    Because of your great power, your enemies cringe before you.
4 All the earth worships you;
    they sing praises to you,
    sing praises to your name.’Selah

5 Come and see what God has done:
    he is awesome in his deeds among mortals.
6 He turned the sea into dry land;
    they passed through the river on foot.
There we rejoiced in him,
7     who rules by his might for ever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations—
    let the rebellious not exalt themselves.Selah

8 Bless our God, O peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard,
9 who has kept us among the living,
    and has not let our feet slip.
10 For you, O God, have tested us;
    you have tried us as silver is tried.
11 You brought us into the net;
    you laid burdens on our backs
