66:12 You allowed men to ride over our heads;
we passed through fire and water,
but you brought us out into a wide open place. 1
66:13 I will enter 2 your temple with burnt sacrifices;
I will fulfill the vows I made to you,
66:14 which my lips uttered
and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.
66:15 I will offer up to you fattened animals as burnt sacrifices,
along with the smell of sacrificial rams.
I will offer cattle and goats. (Selah)
66:16 Come! Listen, all you who are loyal to God! 3
I will declare what he has done for me.
1 tc The MT reads רְוָיָה (“saturation”) but this should be emended to רְוָחָה (rÿvakhah, “wide open place”; i.e., “relief”), a reading supported by several ancient versions (LXX, Syriac, Jerome, Targum).
2 sn Here the psalmist switches to the singular; he speaks as the representative of the nation.
3 tn Heb “all of the fearers of God.”
