Tehillim 66

1(For the one directing. Shir. Mizmor)

Make a joyful shout unto Elohim, kol HaAretz;

2Sing forth the kavod Shmo;

make kavod (glorious) His tehillah (praise).

3Say unto Elohim, How norah (awesome) art Thou in Thy ma'asim (works)!

Through the greatness of Thy oz (might) shall Thine oyevim cower before Thee.

4Kol ha'aretz shall prostrate before Thee,

and shall sing unto Thee;

they shall sing praise to Shimecha.

Selah

5Come and see the works of Elohim;

He is norah (awesome) in deed toward Bnei Adam.

6He turned1 the yam into yabashah (dry land);2

they passed through the nahar on regel;

there did we rejoice in Him.

7He ruleth by His gevurah (power) olam (forever);

His eyes are a watchmanʼs eyes over the Goyim;

let not the sorerim (rebellious ones) exalt themselves.

Selah

8Barchu Eloheinu, Amim,

and make the kol (sound) of His tehillah (praise) to be heard.

9He is the One who set nafsheinu in chayyim

and does not permit ragleinu (our foot) to slip.

10For Thou, Elohim, hath tested us and hast proved us;

Thou hast put us in the crucibleʼs refining and refined us as kesef.

11Thou broughtest us into the metzudah (prison);

Thou laidst a mu'akah (burden) upon our loins.

12Thou hast caused enosh (mankind) to ride over rosheinu (our head);

we went through eish and through mayim;

but Thou broughtest us out into plenty.

13I will come into Thy Beis3 with olot;

I will fulfill for Thee my nedarim,

14Which my sfatayim have uttered,

and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in tzoros.

15I will offer unto Thee olot mekhim (burnt offerings of fat animals),

with the ketoret (incense, offering) of rams;

I will offer bakar with goats.

Selah

16Come and hear, Kol Yirei Elohim,

and I will declare what He hath done for my nefesh.

17I cried unto Him with my mouth,

and He was extolled with my leshon.

18If I regard avon (iniquity, sin) in my lev,

Adonoi will not hear me;

19But surely Elohim hath heard me;

He hath attended to the kol tefillati (voice of my prayer).

20Baruch Elohim, Who hath not turned away my tefillah,

nor His chesed from me.
