Part of Book II📖 Psalms introduction

Read the chapter

1Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! 2Sing out the honor of His name; Make His praise glorious. 3Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You. 4All the earth shall worship You And sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name.” Selah 5Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men. 6He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot. There we will rejoice in Him. 7He rules by His power forever; His eyes observe the nations; Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah 8Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard, 9Who keeps our soul among the living, And does not allow our feet to be moved. 10For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined. 11You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs. 12You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfillment. 13I will go into Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows, 14Which my lips have uttered And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble. 15I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals, With the sweet aroma of rams; I will offer bulls with goats. Selah 16Come and hear, all you who fear God, And I will declare what He has done for my soul. 17I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue. 18If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear. 19But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. 20Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me!

Where this chapter connects

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 66 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
