Psalms 66 EASY
1. Everyone on earth, shout aloud to praise God, because you are very happy.
2. Sing to praise his great name! Praise him in the way that he deserves.
3. Say to God, ‘You do great things! Your great power makes your enemies afraid. They come to you and they bend down to the ground.
4. The whole world bends down to worship you. Everyone sings to praise your name.’ Selah.
5. Come and see the great things that God has done. He has done wonderful miracles for people!
6. He caused the Red Sea to become dry land. Then his people walked across the Jordan River! So we praise him for what he did there!
7. He has the power to rule for ever. He watches everything that the nations do. Wicked people should not be proud and turn against him. Selah.
8. You people from every nation, agree that our God is great! Praise him with loud voices, so that everyone can hear!
9. He keeps our lives safe. He does not let us fall to the ground.
10. You have tested us, God. You wanted to make us pure, as they make silver pure in a hot fire.
11. You caused a trap to catch us, so that we had much pain and trouble.
12. You gave people power to hurt us. We went through dangerous fire and water. But then you brought us into a safe, open place.
13. I will bring burnt offerings to your Temple. I will bring to you the gifts that I promised.
14. When I was in trouble, I made those promises. I spoke them aloud.
15. I will offer to you gifts of fat animals, to burn them as sacrifices. I will also burn sheep as offerings, and their smell will please you. I will also offer to you bulls and goats. Selah.
16. Come and listen, all you people who serve God. I will tell you about the things that God has done for me.
17. I called to him for help, then I praised him aloud!
18. If I had kept wicked things in my mind, the Lord would not have listened to me.
19. But God did hear me. When I called to him, he listened to my prayer.
20. So I praise God, as he deserves. He has not refused to listen to me. He has continued to love me with his faithful love.
