Psalms 66

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	BIBBIA VOLGARE
1 For the leader. A song; a psalm.	1 In fine, nelle laudi, salmo del cantico [di] David.
2 Shout joyfully to God, all you on earth; sing of his glorious name; give him glorious praise.	2 Iddio abbia misericordia di noi, e benedica noi; illumini il volto suo sopra noi, e abbia misericordia di noi,
3 Say to God: "How awesome your deeds! Before your great strength your enemies cringe.	3 acciò che conosciamo in terra la via tua, in tutte le genti il Salvatore tuo.
4 All on earth fall in worship before you; they sing of you, sing of your name!" Selah	4 A te, Iddio, si confessino li popoli; confessinsi a te tutti li popoli.
5 Come and see the works of God, awesome in the deeds done for us.	5 Con letizia rallegrisi la gente; però che giudichi li popoli nella equità, e le genti in la terra raddrizzi.
6 He changed the sea to dry land; through the river they passed on foot. Therefore let us rejoice in him,	6 A te, Iddio, confessinsi li popoli; a te tutti li popoli si confessino;
7 who rules by might forever, Whose eyes are fixed upon the nations. Let no rebel rise to challenge! Selah	7 per che la terra ha dato il frutto suo. Iddio, Iddio nostro benedica noi;
8 Bless our God, you peoples; loudly sound his praise,	8 benedica noi Iddio; e temano quello tutti li fini della terra.
9 Who has kept us alive and not allowed our feet to slip.
10 You tested us, O God, tried us as silver tried by fire.
11 You led us into a snare; you bound us at the waist as captives.
12 You let captors set foot on our neck; we went through fire and water; then you led us out to freedom.
13 I will bring holocausts to your house; to you I will fulfill my vows,
14 The vows my lips pronounced and my mouth spoke in distress.
15 Holocausts of fatlings I will offer you and burnt offerings of rams; I will sacrifice oxen and goats. Selah
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God, while I recount what has been done for me.
17 I called to the Lord with my mouth; praise was upon my tongue.
18 Had I cherished evil in my heart, the Lord would not have heard.
19 But God did hear and listened to my voice in prayer.
20 Blessed be God, who did not refuse me the kindness I sought in prayer.
