Psalmen 66
Schlachter 2000
Psalm 66
1 Dem Vorsänger. Ein Lied, ein Psalm.
Jauchzt Gott, alle Welt![a]
2 Besingt die Herrlichkeit seines Namens,
macht herrlich sein Lob!
3 Sprecht zu Gott: Wie furchtgebietend sind deine Werke!
Wegen der Größe deiner Macht schmeicheln dir deine Feinde.
4 Alle Welt wird dich anbeten und dir lobsingen,
sie wird deinem Namen lobsingen! (Sela.)
5 Kommt her und schaut die Großtaten Gottes,
dessen Tun an den Menschenkindern so furchtgebietend ist!
6 Er verwandelte das Meer in trockenes Land,
durch den Strom gingen sie zu Fuß;
dort freuten wir uns in ihm.
7 Er herrscht ewiglich in seiner Macht;
seine Augen haben acht auf die Heiden.
Die Widerspenstigen sollen sich ja nicht [gegen ihn] erheben! (Sela.)
8 Preist unseren Gott, ihr Völker,
lasst laut sein Lob erschallen,
9 der unsere Seelen am Leben erhielt
und unsere Füße nicht wanken ließ!
10 Denn du hast uns geprüft, o Gott,
und hast uns geläutert, wie man Silber läutert.
11 Du hast uns ins Gefängnis geführt,
hast unseren Lenden eine schwere Last auferlegt;
12 du hast Menschen über unser Haupt fahren lassen;
wir sind in Feuer und Wasser gekommen,
aber du hast uns herausgeführt in die Fülle.
13 Ich will mit Brandopfern in dein Haus kommen,
will dir meine Gelübde erfüllen,
14 zu denen sich meine Lippen aufgetan hatten,
und die mein Mund geredet hatte in meiner Not.
15 Brandopfer von fetten [Schafen] will ich dir darbringen
samt dem Rauch von Widdern;
Rinder samt Böcken will ich zurichten. (Sela.)
16 Kommt her, hört zu, ihr alle, die ihr Gott fürchtet;
ich will erzählen, was er an meiner Seele getan hat!
17 Zu ihm rief ich mit meinem Mund,
und [sein] Ruhm war auf meiner Zunge.
18 Hätte ich Unrecht vorgehabt in meinem Herzen,
so hätte der Herr nicht erhört;
19 doch wahrlich, Gott hat erhört,
er hat geachtet auf die Stimme meines Flehens.
20 Gelobt sei Gott, der mein Gebet nicht abgewiesen
noch seine Gnade von mir gewendet hat!

Psalm 66
Amplified Bible
Praise for God’s Mighty Deeds and for His Answer to Prayer.
To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm.
66 Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;
2
Sing of the honor and glory and magnificence of His name;
Make His praise glorious.
3
Say to God, “How awesome and fearfully glorious are Your works!
Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will pretend to be obedient to You.
4
“All the earth will [bow down to] worship You [in submissive wonder],
And will sing praises to You;
They will praise Your name in song.” Selah.
5
Come and see the works of God,
He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of men.
6
He turned the sea into dry land;
They crossed through the river on foot;
There we rejoiced in Him.(A)
7
Who rules by His might forever,
His eyes keep watch on the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8
Bless our God, O peoples,
And make the sound of His praise be heard abroad,
9
Who keeps us among the living,
And does not allow our feet to slip or stumble.
10
For You have tested us, O God;
You have refined us as silver is refined.
11
You brought us into the net;
You laid a heavy burden [of servitude] on [a]us.
12
You made men (charioteers) [b]ride over our heads [in defeat];
We went through fire and through water,
Yet You brought us out into a [broad] place of abundance [to be refreshed].
13
I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I shall pay You my vows,
14
Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke as a promise when I was in distress.
15
I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat lambs,
With the [sweet] smoke of rams;
I will offer bulls with male goats. Selah.
16
Come and hear, all who fear God [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],
And I will tell what He has done for me.
17
I cried aloud to Him;
He was highly praised with my tongue.
18
If I regard sin and baseness in my heart [that is, if I know it is there and do nothing about it],
The Lord will not hear [me];(B)
19
But certainly God has heard [me];
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
20
Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.

and has heard(AD) my prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
who has not rejected(AE) my prayer
or withheld his love from me!
