Ps 66

FFor the choirmaster. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth! (LXX 65:1; Rahlfs 65:1) לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ שִׁ֣יר מִזְמ֑וֹר הָרִ֥יעוּ לֵ֝אלֹהִים כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 2Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious. (LXX 65:2; Rahlfs 65:2) זַמְּר֥וּ כְבֽוֹד־שְׁמ֑וֹ שִׂ֥ימוּ כָ֝ב֗וֹד תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃ 3Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You. (LXX 65:3; Rahlfs 65:3) אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃ 4All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You; they sing praise to Your name.” Selah (LXX 65:4; Rahlfs 65:4) כָּל־הָאָ֤רֶץ ׀ יִשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לְ֭ךָ וִֽיזַמְּרוּ־לָ֑ךְ יְזַמְּר֖וּ שִׁמְךָ֣ סֶֽלָה׃ 5Come and see the works of God; how awesome are His deeds toward mankind. (LXX 65:5; Rahlfs 65:5) לְכ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ מִפְעֲל֣וֹת אֱלֹהִ֑ים נוֹרָ֥א עֲ֝לִילָ֗ה עַל־בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ 6He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the waters on foot; there we rejoiced in Him. (LXX 65:6; Rahlfs 65:6) הָ֤פַךְ יָ֨ם ׀ לְֽיַבָּשָׁ֗ה בַּ֭נָּהָר יַֽעַבְר֣וּ בְרָ֑גֶל שָׁ֝֗ם נִשְׂמְחָה־בּֽוֹ׃ 7He rules forever by His power; His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah (LXX 65:7; Rahlfs 65:7) מֹ֘שֵׁ֤ל בִּגְבוּרָת֨וֹ ׀ עוֹלָ֗ם עֵ֭ינָיו בַּגּוֹיִ֣ם תִּצְפֶּ֑ינָה הַסּוֹרְרִ֓ים ׀ אַל־ירימו לָ֣מוֹ סֶֽלָה׃ 8Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard. (LXX 65:8; Rahlfs 65:8) בָּרְכ֖וּ עַמִּ֥ים ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְ֝הַשְׁמִ֗יעוּ ק֣וֹל תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃ 9He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from slipping. (LXX 65:9; Rahlfs 65:9) הַשָּׂ֣ם נַ֭פְשֵׁנוּ בַּֽחַיִּ֑ים וְלֹֽא־נָתַ֖ן לַמּ֣וֹט רַגְלֵֽנוּ׃ 10For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver. (LXX 65:10; Rahlfs 65:10) כִּֽי־בְחַנְתָּ֥נוּ אֱלֹהִ֑ים צְ֝רַפְתָּ֗נוּ כִּצְרָף־כָּֽסֶף׃ 11You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs. (LXX 65:11; Rahlfs 65:11) הֲבֵאתָ֥נוּ בַמְּצוּדָ֑ה שַׂ֖מְתָּ מוּעָקָ֣ה בְמָתְנֵֽינוּ׃ 12You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us into abundance. (LXX 65:12; Rahlfs 65:12) הִרְכַּ֥בְתָּ אֱנ֗וֹשׁ לְרֹ֫אשֵׁ֥נוּ בָּֽאנוּ־בָאֵ֥שׁ וּבַמַּ֑יִם וַ֝תּוֹצִיאֵ֗נוּ לָֽרְוָיָֽה׃ 13I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You— (LXX 65:13; Rahlfs 65:13) אָב֣וֹא בֵיתְךָ֣ בְעוֹל֑וֹת אֲשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְךָ֣ נְדָרָֽי׃ 14the vows that my lips promised and my mouth spoke in my distress. (LXX 65:14; Rahlfs 65:14) אֲשֶׁר־פָּצ֥וּ שְׂפָתָ֑י וְדִבֶּר־פִּ֝֗י בַּצַּר־לִֽי׃ 15I will offer You fatlings as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah (LXX 65:15; Rahlfs 65:15) עֹ֘ל֤וֹת מֵחִ֣ים אַעֲלֶה־לָּ֭ךְ עִם־קְטֹ֣רֶת אֵילִ֑ים אֶ֥עֱשֶֽׂה בָקָ֖ר עִם־עַתּוּדִ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃ 16Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me. (LXX 65:16; Rahlfs 65:16) לְכֽוּ־שִׁמְע֣וּ וַ֭אֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־יִרְאֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר עָשָׂ֣ה לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃ 17I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue. (LXX 65:17; Rahlfs 65:17) אֵלָ֥יו פִּֽי־קָרָ֑אתִי וְ֝רוֹמַ֗ם תַּ֣חַת לְשׁוֹנִֽי׃ 18If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. (LXX 65:18; Rahlfs 65:18) אָ֭וֶן אִם־רָאִ֣יתִי בְלִבִּ֑י לֹ֖א יִשְׁמַ֣ע ׀ אֲדֹנָֽי׃ 19But God has surely heard; He has attended to the sound of my prayer. (LXX 65:19; Rahlfs 65:19) אָ֭כֵן שָׁמַ֣ע אֱלֹהִ֑ים הִ֝קְשִׁ֗יב בְּק֣וֹל תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃ 20Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld from me His loving devotion! (LXX 65:20; Rahlfs 65:20) בָּר֥וּךְ אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־הֵסִ֘יר תְּפִלָּתִ֥י וְ֝חַסְדּ֗וֹ מֵאִתִּֽי׃
