Psalms 66

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [For the choirmaster Song Psalm] Acclaim God, al the earth,	1 Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection. Shout with joy to God, all the earth,
2 sing psalms to the glory of his name, glorify him with your praises,	2 sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.
3 say to God, 'How awesome you are! 'Your achievements are the measure of your power, yourenemies woo your favour,	3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.
4 al the earth bows down before you, sings psalms to you, sings psalms to your name.'Pause	4 Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.
5 Come and see the marvels of God, his awesome deeds for the children of Adam:	5 Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.
6 he changed the sea into dry land, they crossed the river on foot. So let us rejoice in him,	6 Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: there shall we rejoice in him.
7 who rules for ever by his power; his eyes keep watch on the nations to forestal rebel ion againsthim.Pause	7 Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him he exalted in themselves.
8 Nations, bless our God, let the sound of his praise be heard;	8 O bless our God, ye Gentiles: and make the voice of his praise to be heard.
9 he brings us to life and keeps our feet from stumbling.	9 Who hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:
10 God, you have put us to the test, refined us like silver,	10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us by fire, as silver is tried.
11 let us fal into the net; you have put a heavy strain on our backs,	11 Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:
12 let men ride over our heads; but now the ordeal by fire and water is over, you have led us out tobreathe again.	12 thou hast set men over our heads. We have passed through tire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.
13 I bring burnt offerings to your house, I fulfil to you my vows,	13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 the vows that rose to my lips, that I pronounced when I was in trouble.	14 which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 I wil offer you rich burnt offerings, with the smoke of burning rams. I wil sacrifice to you bul ocks andgoats.Pause	15 I will offer up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.
16 Come and listen, all who fear God, while I tel what he has done for me.	16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you what great things he hath done for my soul.
17 To him I cried aloud, high praise was on my tongue.	17 I cried to him with my mouth: and I extolled him with my tongue.
18 Had I been aware of guilt in my heart, the Lord would not have listened,	18 If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.
19 but in fact God did listen, attentive to the sound of my prayer.	19 Therefore hath God heard me, and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.
20 Blessed be God who has not turned away my prayer, nor his own faithful love from me.	20 Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
