Psalms 66:3
1 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth!
2 Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.
Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.
4 All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You; they sing praise to Your name.” Selah
5 Come and see the works of God; how awesome are His deeds toward mankind.
