To the director. A song. A melody.
66 Shout in triumph to Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'}, all the earth.
2 Sing praises to his glorious name.
Make his praise glorious.
3 Say to Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'}: “How awe-inspiring your works are!
Because of your great power,
Your enemies will cringe before you.
4 All the earth will bow down to you;
They will sing praises to you;
They will sing praises to your name.” (Selah)
5 Come and see the works of Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'}.
His deeds toward the sons of men are awe-inspiring.
6 He changed the sea into dry land;
They crossed the river on foot.
There we rejoiced in him.
7 He rules forever by his might.
His eyes keep watch on the nations.
Those who are stubborn should not exalt themselves. (Selah)
8 Praise our Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'}, you peoples,
And let the sound of his praise be heard.
He does not allow our feet to stumble.
10 For you have examined us, O Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'};
As silver is refined, so you have refined us.
11 You brought us into a hunting net;
You put a crushing burden upon us.
12 You allowed mortal man to ride over us;
We came through fire and through water;
Then you brought us to a place of relief.
13 I will come into your house with whole burnt offerings;
I will pay my vows to you
14 That my lips promised
And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.
15 I will offer burnt offerings of fattened animals to you
With the smoke of sacrificial rams.
I will offer bulls along with male goats. (Selah)
16 Come and listen, all you who fear Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'},
And I will tell you what he has done for me.
17 I called to him with my mouth
And glorified him with my tongue.
18 If I had harbored anything hurtful in my heart,
Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} would not have heard me.
19 But Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'} did hear;
He paid attention to my prayer.
20 Praise to Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'}, who did not reject my prayer
Or withhold his loyal love from me.
