Psalms 66

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection. Shout with joy to God, all the earth,	1 [For the choirmaster Song Psalm] Acclaim God, al the earth,
2 sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.	2 sing psalms to the glory of his name, glorify him with your praises,
3 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.	3 say to God, 'How awesome you are! 'Your achievements are the measure of your power, yourenemies woo your favour,
4 Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.	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; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.	5 Come and see the marvels of God, his awesome deeds for the children of Adam:
6 Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: there shall 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 Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him he exalted in themselves.	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 Gentiles: and make the voice of his praise to be heard.	8 Nations, bless our God, let the sound of his praise be heard;
9 Who hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my 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 by fire, as silver is tried.	10 God, you have put us to the test, refined us like silver,
11 Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:	11 let us fal into the net; you have put a heavy strain on our backs,
12 thou hast set men over our heads. We have passed through tire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.	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 up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.	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 tell you what great things 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 to him with my mouth: and I extolled him with my tongue.	17 To him I cried aloud, high praise was on my tongue.
18 If I have looked at 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 Therefore hath God heard me, and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.	19 but in fact God did listen, attentive to the sound of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, who 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.
