Psalms 66

lamnatseakh shir mizmor hari'u lelohim kol-ha'arets

For the leader. A song. A psalm. Raise a shout for God, all the earth;

zammeru khevod-shemo simu khavod tehillato

sing the glory of God’s name, make glorious God’s praise.

imru lelohim mah-nnora ma'asekha berov uzzekha yekhakhashu lekha oyevekha

Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds, Your enemies cower before Your great strength;

kol-ha'arets yishtakhavu lekha vizammeru-lakh yezammeru shimkha selah

all the earth bows to You, and sings hymns to You; all sing hymns to Your name.” Selah.

lekhu ure'u mifalot elohim nora alilah al-bene adam

Come and see the works of God, who is held in awe by mortals for acts divine,

hafakh yam leyabbashah bannahar ya'avru veragel sham nismekhah-bbo

and who turned the sea into dry land: Israel crossed the river on foot; we therefore rejoice in [God].

moshel bigvurato olam enayw baggoyim titspenah hassorerim al-[yarumu] (yrymv) lamo selah

[God] rules forever with divine might, eyes scanning the nations— not letting the rebellious assert themselves. Selah.

barekhu ammim elohenu vehashmi'u qol tehillato

O peoples, bless our God; celebrate with praises

hassam nafshenu bakhayyim velo-natan lammot raglenu

the One who has granted us life, and has not let our feet slip.

ki-vekhantanu elohim tseraftanu kitsrof-kasef

You have tried us, O God, refining us, as one refines silver.

havetanu vammetsudah samta mu'aqah vemotnenu

You have caught us in a net, caught us in trammels.

hirkavta enosh leroshenu banu-va'esh uvammayim vattotsi'enu larevayah

You have let people ride over us; we have endured fire and water, and You have brought us through to prosperity.

avo vetekha ve'olot ashallem lekha nedaray

I enter Your house with burnt offerings, I pay my vows to You,

asher-patsu sefatay vedibber-pi batsar-li

[vows] that my lips pronounced, that my mouth uttered in my distress.

olot mekhim a'aleh-llakh im-qetoret elim e'eseh-vaqar im-attudim selah

I offer up fatlings to You, with the odor of burning rams; I sacrifice bulls and he-goats. Selah.

lekhu-shimu va'asapperah kol-yire elohim asher asah lenafshi

Come and hear, all you who fear God, as I tell what was done for me.

elayw pi-qarati veromam takhat leshoni

I called aloud to [God], glorification on my tongue.

aven im-ra'iti velibbi lo yishma adonay

Had I an evil thought in my mind, my Sovereign would not have listened.

akhen shama elohim hiqshiv beqol tefillati

But God did listen— paying heed to my prayer.

barukh elohim asher lo-hesir-tefillati vekhasdo me'itti

Blessed is God who has not turned away my prayer, or faithful care, from me.
