Psalms 66:14 In-Context

12 Road-tested us inside and out, took us to hell and back; Finally he brought us to this well-watered place.
13 I'm bringing my prizes and presents to your house. I'm doing what I said I'd do,
14 What I solemnly swore I'd do that day when I was in so much trouble:
15 The choicest cuts of meat for the sacrificial meal; Even the fragrance of roasted lamb is like a meal! Or make it an ox garnished with goat meat!
16 All believers, come here and listen, let me tell you what God did for me.
