Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me!

        

Psalm  66:5-12, 16-20 - NKJ

 5    Come and see the works of God;

         He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.

 6   He turned the sea into dry land;

         They went through the river on foot.

         There we will rejoice in Him.

 7    He rules by His power forever;

         His eyes observe the nations;

         Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.  Selah 

        

 8    Oh, bless our God, you peoples!

         And make the voice of His praise to be heard,

 9    Who keeps our soul among the living,

         And does not allow our feet to be moved.

 10    For You, O God, have tested us;

         You have refined us as silver is refined.

 11    You brought us into the net;

         You laid affliction on our backs.

 12    You have caused men to ride over our heads;

         We went through fire and through water;

         But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.

                                       ***

        

 16    Come and hear, all you who fear God,

         And I will declare what He has done for my soul.

 17   I cried to Him with my mouth,

         And He was extolled with my tongue.

 18    If I regard iniquity in my heart,

         The Lord will not hear.

 19    But certainly God has heard me;

         He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

        

 20    Blessed be God,

         Who has not turned away my prayer,

         Nor His mercy from me!
