Ps 66

FFor the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! (LXX 65:1; Rahlfs 65:1) לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ שִׁ֣יר מִזְמ֑וֹר הָרִ֥יעוּ לֵ֝אלֹהִים כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 2Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise! (LXX 65:2; Rahlfs 65:2) זַמְּר֥וּ כְבֽוֹד־שְׁמ֑וֹ שִׂ֥ימוּ כָ֝ב֗וֹד תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃ 3Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you. (LXX 65:3; Rahlfs 65:3) אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃ 4All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” Selah. (LXX 65:4; Rahlfs 65:4) כָּל־הָאָ֤רֶץ ׀ יִשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לְ֭ךָ וִֽיזַמְּרוּ־לָ֑ךְ יְזַמְּר֖וּ שִׁמְךָ֣ סֶֽלָה׃ 5Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men. (LXX 65:5; Rahlfs 65:5) לְכ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ מִפְעֲל֣וֹת אֱלֹהִ֑ים נוֹרָ֥א עֲ֝לִילָ֗ה עַל־בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ 6He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him. (LXX 65:6; Rahlfs 65:6) הָ֤פַךְ יָ֨ם ׀ לְֽיַבָּשָׁ֗ה בַּ֭נָּהָר יַֽעַבְר֣וּ בְרָ֑גֶל שָׁ֝֗ם נִשְׂמְחָה־בּֽוֹ׃ 7He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah. (LXX 65:7; Rahlfs 65:7) מֹ֘שֵׁ֤ל בִּגְבוּרָת֨וֹ ׀ עוֹלָ֗ם עֵ֭ינָיו בַּגּוֹיִ֣ם תִּצְפֶּ֑ינָה הַסּוֹרְרִ֓ים ׀ אַל־ירימו לָ֣מוֹ סֶֽלָה׃ 8Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard, (LXX 65:8; Rahlfs 65:8) בָּרְכ֖וּ עַמִּ֥ים ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְ֝הַשְׁמִ֗יעוּ ק֣וֹל תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃ 9who preserves our life among the living, and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved. (LXX 65:9; Rahlfs 65:9) הַשָּׂ֣ם נַ֭פְשֵׁנוּ בַּֽחַיִּ֑ים וְלֹֽא־נָתַ֖ן לַמּ֣וֹט רַגְלֵֽנוּ׃ 10For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined. (LXX 65:10; Rahlfs 65:10) כִּֽי־בְחַנְתָּ֥נוּ אֱלֹהִ֑ים צְ֝רַפְתָּ֗נוּ כִּצְרָף־כָּֽסֶף׃ 11You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs. (LXX 65:11; Rahlfs 65:11) הֲבֵאתָ֥נוּ בַמְּצוּדָ֑ה שַׂ֖מְתָּ מוּעָקָ֣ה בְמָתְנֵֽינוּ׃ 12You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance. (LXX 65:12; Rahlfs 65:12) הִרְכַּ֥בְתָּ אֱנ֗וֹשׁ לְרֹ֫אשֵׁ֥נוּ בָּֽאנוּ־בָאֵ֥שׁ וּבַמַּ֑יִם וַ֝תּוֹצִיאֵ֗נוּ לָֽרְוָיָֽה׃ 13I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you, (LXX 65:13; Rahlfs 65:13) אָב֣וֹא בֵיתְךָ֣ בְעוֹל֑וֹת אֲשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְךָ֣ נְדָרָֽי׃ 14which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress. (LXX 65:14; Rahlfs 65:14) אֲשֶׁר־פָּצ֥וּ שְׂפָתָ֑י וְדִבֶּר־פִּ֝֗י בַּצַּר־לִֽי׃ 15I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah. (LXX 65:15; Rahlfs 65:15) עֹ֘ל֤וֹת מֵחִ֣ים אַעֲלֶה־לָּ֭ךְ עִם־קְטֹ֣רֶת אֵילִ֑ים אֶ֥עֱשֶֽׂה בָקָ֖ר עִם־עַתּוּדִ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃ 16Come and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul. (LXX 65:16; Rahlfs 65:16) לְכֽוּ־שִׁמְע֣וּ וַ֭אֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־יִרְאֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר עָשָׂ֣ה לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃ 17I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue. (LXX 65:17; Rahlfs 65:17) אֵלָ֥יו פִּֽי־קָרָ֑אתִי וְ֝רוֹמַ֗ם תַּ֣חַת לְשׁוֹנִֽי׃ 18If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened. (LXX 65:18; Rahlfs 65:18) אָ֭וֶן אִם־רָאִ֣יתִי בְלִבִּ֑י לֹ֖א יִשְׁמַ֣ע ׀ אֲדֹנָֽי׃ 19But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer. (LXX 65:19; Rahlfs 65:19) אָ֭כֵן שָׁמַ֣ע אֱלֹהִ֑ים הִ֝קְשִׁ֗יב בְּק֣וֹל תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃ 20Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me. (LXX 65:20; Rahlfs 65:20) בָּר֥וּךְ אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־הֵסִ֘יר תְּפִלָּתִ֥י וְ֝חַסְדּ֗וֹ מֵאִתִּֽי׃
