SCRIPTURE
Psalm 66: 1-12
“Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth”
1
(To the leader. A Song. A Psalm.) Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth; 2
sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise. 3 Say to
God, "How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power, your enemies
cringe before you. 4 All the earth worships you; they sing praises to
you, sing praises to your name." Selah 5 Come and see what God
has done: he is awesome in his deeds among mortals. 6 He turned the
sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in
him, 7 who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the
nations-- let the rebellious not exalt themselves. Selah 8 Bless our
God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard, 9 who has kept
us among the living, and has not let our feet slip. 10 For you, O
God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. 11 You
brought us into the net; you laid burdens on our backs; 12 you let
people ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have
brought us out to a spacious place.
