Psalms 66 · Grade 4

Tested and Brought Through

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 66 is a song and a Psalm. The title does not name its author. It starts with the whole earth: Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! Then it invites everyone, Come, and see God's deeds. He turned the sea into dry land, remembering how Israel crossed the Red Sea and the Jordan River on foot.

Next the psalm talks about hard times. You, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined. Silver is heated in fire so the impurities can be removed. God's people went through fire and through water, but he brought them to the place of abundance.

Finally one person speaks. Come and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul. The singer had made promises in distress and now keeps them. He says, If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn't have listened. But God has listened and has not turned away his loving kindness.
