Psalm 66

For the end, a Song of Psalm of resurrection.

¹ Shout unto God, all the earth. ² O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise. ³ Say unto God, How awful are thy works! through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall lie to thee. ⁴ Let all the earth worship thee, and sing to thee; let them sing to thy name. Pause.

⁵ Come and behold the works of God; he is terrible in his counsels beyond the children of men. ⁶ Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him, ⁷ who by his power ¹is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke him be exalted in themselves. Pause.

⁸ Bless our God, ye Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard; ⁹ who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved. ¹⁰ For thou, O God, has proved us; thou hast tried us with fire as silver is tried. ¹¹ Thou broughtest us into the snare; thou laidest afflictions on our back. ¹² Thou didst mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and water; but thou broughtest us out into a place of refreshment.

¹³ I will go into thine house with whole-burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows, ¹⁴ which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction. ¹⁵ I will offer to thee whole-burnt-sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to thee oxen with goats. Pause.

¹⁶ Come, hear, and I will tell, all ye that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul. ¹⁷ I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue. ¹⁸ If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord hearken to me. ¹⁹ Therefore God has hearkened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. ²⁰ Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

Psalm 67

For the end, a Psalm of David among the Hymns.

¹ God be merciful to us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us. Pause. ² That men may know thy way on the earth, thy salvation among all nations. ³ Let the nations, O God, give thanks to thee; let all the nations give thanks to thee. ⁴ Let the nations rejoice and exult, for thou shalt judge the peoples in equity, and shalt guide the nations on the earth. Pause. ⁵ Let the peoples, O God, give thanks to thee; let all the peoples give thanks to thee. ⁶ The earth has yielded her fruit; let God, our God bless us. ⁷ Let God bless us; and let all the ends of the earth fear him.
