[00:00:04] Psalm 66 To the Chief Musician A Song, A Psalm Shout joyfully to God, all the earth. Sing of the honor and glory and magnificence of His name. Make His praise glorious. Say to God, How awesome and fearfully glorious are your works!
[00:00:33] Because of the greatness of your power, your enemies will pretend to be obedient to you. All the earth will bow down to worship you in submissive wonder and will sing praises to you. They will praise your name in song. Selah, come and see the works of God.
[00:01:00] He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of men. He turned the sea into dry land. They crossed through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in Him, who rules by His might forever. His eyes keep watch on the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.
[00:01:26] Selah, bless our God, O peoples, and make the sound of His praise be heard abroad, who keeps us among the living and does not allow our feet to slip or stumble. For you have tested us, O God. You have refined us as silver is refined. You brought us into the net.
[00:01:53] You laid a heavy burden of servitude on us. You made men, or charioteers, ride over our heads in defeat. We went through fire and through water, yet you brought us out into a broad place of abundance to be refreshed. I shall come into your house with burnt offerings. I shall pay you my vows, which my lips uttered
[00:02:21] and my mouth spoke as a promise when I was in distress. I shall offer to you burnt offerings of fat lambs with the sweet smoke of rams. I will offer bulls with male goats. Selah, come and hear all who fear God and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience,
[00:02:49] and I will tell what He has done for me. I cried aloud to Him. He was highly praised with my tongue. If I regard sin and baseness in my heart, that is, if I know it is there and do nothing about it, the Lord will not hear me. But certainly God has heard me. He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God,
[00:03:18] who has not turned away my prayer nor His loving kindness from me. Thank you for tuning in to the The Audio Bible today. This has been Psalm chapter 66 from the Word of God.
