 1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:*

 2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

 3 Say unto God, How terrible *art thou in* thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.*

 4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing *to* thy name. Selah.

 5 Come and see the works of God: *he is* terrible *in his* doing toward the children of men.

 6 He turned the sea into dry *land:* they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

 7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

 8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

 9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.*

 10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

 11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

 12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy *place*.*

 13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

 14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.*

 15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.*

 16 Come *and* hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

 17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

 18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear *me:*

 19 *But* verily God hath heard *me;* he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

 20 Blessed *be* God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
 
[Psalms 65](/study/psalms/65) [Psalms 67](/study/psalms/67)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
There is nothing particular in the *title* of the Psalm. It is not attributed to *David* either by the *Hebrew, Chaldee, Syriac,* *Septuagint, Vulgate*, or *AEthiopic*. The *Arabic* alone prefixes the name of *David*. The *Vulgate, Septuagint, AEthiopic*, and *Arabic*, call it a *psalm of the resurrection*: but for this there is no authority. By many of the ancients it is supposed to be a celebration of the restoration from the Babylonish captivity. Others think it commemorates the deliverance of Israel from Egypt, their introduction into the Promised Land, and the establishment of the worship of God in Jerusalem. 

Verse [Psalms 66:1](/kjv/psalms/66/1). ***Make a joyfull noise*** — Sing aloud to God, *all ye* *lands*- all ye people who, from different parts of the Babylonish empire, are now on return to your own land.
