Translation & textual notes

The Hebrew base text here follows the Masoretic Text in the Leningrad tradition as represented by the Westminster Leningrad Codex / MorphHB diplomatic stream imported from OSHB; distinctively copyrighted apparatus from BHS or BHQ is not reproduced. Psalms 66 comprises 20 verses in MT order. Movement I (vv. 1-4) — [To the chief Musician, A Song Psalm. [To the chief Musician, A Song Psalm.] Make a joyful noise to God, all you lands: Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. Say to God, How terrible your works! through the greatness of your power shall your enemies submit themselves to you. All the earth shall worship you, and shall sing to you; they shall sing your name. Selah. Movement II (vv. 5-8) — Come and see the works of God: terrible doing toward the children of men. Come and see the works of God: terrible doing toward the children of men. He turned the sea into dry : they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. O bless our God, you people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: Movement III (vv. 9-12) — Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. For you, O God, have proved us: you have tried us, as silver is tried. You broughtest us into the net; you laidst affliction upon our loins. You have caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but you broughtest us out into a wealthy . Movement IV (vv. 13-16) — I will go into your house with burnt offerings: I will pay you my vows. I will go into your house with burnt offerings: I will pay you my vows, Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth has spoken, when I was in trouble. I will offer to you burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. Come hear, all you that fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul. Movement V (vv. 17-20) — I cried to him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. I cried to him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, YHWH will not hear : verily God has heard ; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed God, which has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
