Psalms 66:1-13 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

1. All lands to God in joyful sounds,aloft your voices raise.

2. Sing forth the honour of his name,and glorious make his praise.

3. Say unto God, How terriblein all thy works art thou!Through thy great pow'r thy foes to theeshall be constrain'd to bow.

4. All on the earth shall worship thee,they shall thy praise proclaimIn songs: they shall sing cheerfullyunto thy holy name.

5. Come, and the works that God hath wroughtwith admiration see:In's working to the sons of menmost terrible is he.

6. Into dry land the sea he turn'd,and they a passage had;Ev'n marching through the flood on foot,there we in him were glad.

7. He ruleth ever by his pow'r;his eyes the nations see:O let not the rebellious oneslift up themselves on high.

8. Ye people, bless our God; aloudthe voice speak of his praise:

9. Our soul in life who safe preserves,our foot from sliding stays.

10. For thou didst prove and try us, Lord,as men do silver try;

11. Brought'st us into the net,and mad'st bands on our loins to lie.

12. Thou hast caus'd men ride o'er our heads;and though that we did passThrough fire and water, yet thou brought'stus to a wealthy place.

13. I'll bring burnt off 'rings to thy house;to thee my vows I'll pay,
