1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2 Sing forth the honour of his name:
Make his praise glorious.
3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works!
Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4 All the earth shall worship thee,
And shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
5 Come and see the works of God:
He is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land:
They went through the flood on foot:
There did we rejoice in him.
7 He ruleth by his power for ever;
His eyes behold the nations:
Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8 O bless our God, ye people,
And make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 Which holdeth our soul in life,
And suffereth not our feet to be moved.
Psalm 66:16–20 (KJV 1900): 16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God,
And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17 I cried unto him with my mouth,
And he was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear me:
19 But verily God hath heard me;
He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer,
Nor his mercy from me.
