Psalms 66

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:	1 [For the choirmaster Song Psalm] Acclaim God, al the earth,
2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.	2 sing psalms to the glory of his name, glorify him with your praises,
3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.	3 say to God, 'How awesome you are! 'Your achievements are the measure of your power, yourenemies woo your favour,
4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.	4 al the earth bows down before you, sings psalms to you, sings psalms to your name.'Pause
5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.	5 Come and see the marvels of God, his awesome deeds for the children of Adam:
6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.	6 he changed the sea into dry land, they crossed the river on foot. So let us rejoice in him,
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.	7 who rules for ever by his power; his eyes keep watch on the nations to forestal rebel ion againsthim.Pause
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:	8 Nations, bless our God, let the sound of his praise be heard;
9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.	9 he brings us to life and keeps our feet from stumbling.
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.	10 God, you have put us to the test, refined us like silver,
11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.	11 let us fal into the net; you have put a heavy strain on our backs,
12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.	12 let men ride over our heads; but now the ordeal by fire and water is over, you have led us out tobreathe again.
13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,	13 I bring burnt offerings to your house, I fulfil to you my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.	14 the vows that rose to my lips, that I pronounced when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.	15 I wil offer you rich burnt offerings, with the smoke of burning rams. I wil sacrifice to you bul ocks andgoats.Pause
16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.	16 Come and listen, all who fear God, while I tel what he has done for me.
17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.	17 To him I cried aloud, high praise was on my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:	18 Had I been aware of guilt in my heart, the Lord would not have listened,
19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.	19 but in fact God did listen, attentive to the sound of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.	20 Blessed be God who has not turned away my prayer, nor his own faithful love from me.
