Psalms 66
Bishops' Bible
1To the chiefe musition, a song (whiche is) a psalme. Declare you ioyfull vnto the Lorde all ye of the earth:
2sing psalmes vnto the glory of his name, geue glory to his maiestie.
3Say vnto the Lorde, oh howe wonderfull art thou in thy workes: thorow the greatnes of thy power thyne enemies shalbe founde liers vnto thee.
4For all they of the worlde shall worship thee, and sing psalmes vnto thee: they shall sing psalmes vnto thy holy name. Selah.
5Come hither and beholde the workes of the Lorde: howe wonderfull he is in his doing towarde the chyldren of men.
6He turneth the sea into drye lande, so that they went thorowe the water on foote: there dyd we reioyce in him.
7He ruleth with his power for euer, his eyes beholdeth the gentiles: such as be rebels shal not come to promotion. Selah.
8O ye people blesse your Lorde: and make the voyce of his praise to be heard.
9Who preserueth our soule in life: and suffereth not our feete to slip.
10For thou O Lord hast proued vs: thou hast tryed vs, like as siluer is tryed.
11Thou broughtest vs into the snare: and layde trouble vpon our loynes.
12Thou sufferedst men to ride ouer our heades: we went through fire and water, and yet thou broughtest vs out into a pleasaunt place.
13I wyll go into thy house with burnt offeringes: and I wyll pay thee my vowes
14whiche I promised with my lippes, and spake with my mouth when I was in trouble.
15I wyll offer vnto thee fat burnt sacrifices, with the incense of rammes: I will offer bullockes and goates. Selah.
16O come hither, & hearken: and I wil tell all you that feare the Lorde, what he hath done for my soule.
17I called vnto hym with my mouth: and I exalted him with my tongue.
18If I had inclined vnto wickednes in my heart, the Lorde woulde not haue hearde me:
19but the Lorde hath hearde me, & considered the voyce of my prayer.
20Blessed be the Lorde which hath not reiected my prayer: nor turned his mercye from me.
