Psalms 66 — Context

Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.

The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.

He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah.)

Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;

Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.

For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.

You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.
