1 (To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm.) Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Matthew Henry's Psalms Chapter 66 Bible commentary...
Praise for God's sovereign power in the creation. (1-7) For his favour to his church. (8-12) And the psalmist's praise for his experience of God's goodness. (13-20)
1-7 The holy church throughout all the world lifts up her voice, to laud that Name which is above every name, to make the praise of Jesus glorious, both by word and deed; that others may be led to glorify him also. But nothing can bring men to do this aright, unless his effectual grace create their hearts anew unto holiness; and in the redemption by the death of Christ, and the glorious deliverances it effects, are more wondrous works than Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage.
8-12 The Lord not only preserves our temporal life, but maintains the spiritual life which he has given to believers. By afflictions we are proved, as silver in the fire. The troubles of the church will certainly end well. Through various conflicts and troubles, the slave of Satan escapes from his yoke, and obtains joy and peace in believing: through much tribulation the believer must enter into the kingdom of God.
13-20 We should declare unto those that fear God, what he has done for our souls, and how he has heard and answered our prayers, inviting them to join us in prayer and praise; this will turn to our mutual comfort, and to the glory of God. We cannot share these spiritual privileges, if we retain the love of sin in our hearts, though we refrain from the gross practice, Sin, regarded in the heart, will spoil the comfort and success of prayer; for the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination of the Lord. But if the feeling of sin in the heart causes desires to be rid of it; if it be the presence of one urging a demand we know we must not, cannot comply with, this is an argument of sincerity. And when we pray in simplicity and godly sincerity, our prayers will be answered. This will excite gratitude to Him who hath not turned away our prayer nor his mercy from us. It was not prayer that fetched the deliverance, but his mercy that sent it. That is the foundation of our hopes, the fountain of our comforts; and ought to be the matter of our praises.

God’s praise shall always be in my mouth.
Ayodele olorunfemi's Psalms Chapter 66 comment on 12/02/2012, 3:47am...
It a nice thing to praise God, through it we will have many benefit, giving thanks to God. In the book of Acts 16:20-21, when Paul and Silas praise God, God delivered them. In Joshua 6:20, the children of Israel praised God, and the wall of Jericho fell down, we should praise God all the time. GOD BLESS US ALL.

@ Benjamin. You are blessed above most. The scriptures are given to teach, guide, and renew. God requires a broken heart and a contrite spirit. He will only correct those he loves as a father does his son. He who comes last will come first. All fall short of the Glory...you are blessed because he is showing you your sin. The Holy spirit is convicting your heart. God inhibits his Praises. Sing the words of psalms loud. sing songs of thanksgiving. God will come down and change your heart. Its not easy and your flesh will fight against your soirit. God will have the victoru.He is nota man that He would lie.

I wish to become a better Christian but struggle with sin. When I read the scriptures they only serve to remind me of the emptyness in my heart and the shrotcomings that have separated me from God.I am lost and do not know where to turn

I really like this verse, and on December 24 of 2010 I asked the Lord to remove all the anger that I had in my heart, which has been there for years. When I opened my mouth about that sin the Lord stepped in and removed all the anger from my heart. I can truely say that I HAVE THE VICTORY ON TODAY.
