Psalm 66 Good News Translation (GNT)

66 Praise God with shouts of joy, all people!
² Sing to the glory of his name;
    offer him glorious praise!
³ Say to God, “How wonderful are the things you do!
    Your power is so great
    that your enemies bow down in fear before you.
⁴ Everyone on earth worships you;
    they sing praises to you,
    they sing praises to your name.”

⁵ Come and see what God has done,
    his wonderful acts among people.
⁶ He changed the sea into dry land;
    our ancestors crossed the river on foot.
There we rejoiced because of what he did.
⁷ He rules forever by his might
    and keeps his eyes on the nations.
    Let no rebels rise against him.
⁸ Praise our God, all nations;
    let your praise be heard.
⁹ He has kept us alive
    and has not allowed us to fall.

¹⁰ You have put us to the test, God;
    as silver is purified by fire,
    so you have tested us.
¹¹ You let us fall into a trap
    and placed heavy burdens on our backs.
¹² You let our enemies trample us;
    we went through fire and flood,
    but now you have brought us to a place of safety.

¹³ I will bring burnt offerings to your house;
    I will offer you what I promised.
¹⁴ I will give you what I said I would
    when I was in trouble.
¹⁵ I will offer sheep to be burned on the altar;
I will sacrifice bulls and goats,
    and the smoke will go up to the sky.

¹⁶ Come and listen, all who honor God,
    and I will tell you what he has done for me.
¹⁷ I cried to him for help;
    I praised him with songs.
¹⁸ If I had ignored my sins,
    the Lord would not have listened to me.
¹⁹ But God has indeed heard me;
    he has listened to my prayer.

²⁰ I praise God,
    because he did not reject my prayer
    or keep back his constant love from me.

Psalm 65 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.

¹ Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion:
and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
² O thou that hearest prayer,
unto thee shall all flesh come.
³ Iniquities prevail against me:
as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
⁴ Blessed is the man whom thou choosest,
and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts:
we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
⁵ By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation;
who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
⁶ which by his strength setteth fast the mountains;
being girded with power:
⁷ which stilleth the noise of the seas,
the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
⁸ They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens:
thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

⁹ Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it:
thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water:
thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
¹⁰ Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly:
thou settlest the furrows thereof:
thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
¹¹ Thou crownest the year with thy goodness;
and thy paths drop fatness.
¹² They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness:
and the little hills rejoice on every side.
¹³ The pastures are clothed with flocks;
the valleys also are covered over with corn;
they shout for joy, they also sing.
