Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power
that your enemies cringe before you. All the earth bows down to you;
they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name.”
Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man’s behalf!
He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the river on foot—
come, let us rejoice in him. He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch
the nations— let not the rebellious rise up against him.
Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; he has
preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.
For you,O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs. You let men ride over our heads; we went through
fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.
Psalm 66:3-12
Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done
for me. I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue. If
I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God
has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
Psalm 66:16-20
