Salmos 66

1 (For the one directing. Shir. Mizmor)

Make a joyful shout unto Elohim, kol HaAretz;

2 Sing forth the kavod Shmo;

make kavod (glorious) His tehillah (praise).

3 Say 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.

4 Kol ha’aretz shall prostrate before Thee,

and shall sing unto Thee;

they shall sing praise to Shimecha.

Selah

5 Come and see the works of Elohim;

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

6 He turned*66:6 haphakh the yam into yabashah (dry land);*66:6 See Gn 1:10

they passed through the nahar on regel;

there did we rejoice in Him.

7 He 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

8 Barchu Eloheinu, Amim,

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

9 He is the One who set nafsheinu in chayyim

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

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

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

11 Thou broughtest us into the metzudah (prison);

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

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

we went through eish and through mayim;

but Thou broughtest us out into plenty.

13 I will come into Thy Beis*66:13 HaMikdash with olot;

I will fulfill for Thee my nedarim,

14 Which my sfatayim have uttered,

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

15 I 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

16 Come and hear, Kol Yirei Elohim,

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

17 I cried unto Him with my mouth,

and He was extolled with my leshon.

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

Adonoi will not hear me;

19 But surely Elohim hath heard me;

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

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

nor His chesed from me.
