Psalm 66:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 Come and behold[a] the works of God,
the awesome deeds he has done for people.
6 He changed the sea into dry land;
they crossed the river[b] on foot.
There we rejoiced in him,
7 for he rules forever by his power.
His eyes keep watch over the nations
so that the rebellious not exalt themselves. Selah
