Psalms 66:7-17

7 He rules forever by his might and keeps his eyes on the nations. Let no rebels rise against him.
8 Praise our God, all nations; let your praise be heard.
9 He has kept us alive and has not allowed us to fall.
10 You have put us to the test, God; as silver is purified by fire, so you have tested us.
11 You let us fall into a trap and placed heavy burdens on our backs.
12 You let our enemies trample us; we went through fire and flood, but now you have brought us to a place of safety.
13 I will bring burnt offerings to your house; I will offer you what I promised.
14 I will give you what I said I would when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer sheep to be burned on the altar; I will sacrifice bulls and goats, and the smoke will go up to the sky.
16 Come and listen, all who honor God, and I will tell you what he has done for me.
17 I cried to him for help; I praised him with songs.
