8 Ye heathen men, bless our God; and make ye heard the voice of his praising. (All ye heathen, bless our God; and make ye the sound of your praises heard.)
9 That hath set my soul to life, and gave not my feet into stirring. (He hath given life to my soul or He hath given life to me, and kept my feet from slipping, or stumbling.)
10 For thou, God, hast proved us; thou hast examined us by fire, as silver is examined, (or thou hast assayed us by fire, like silver is proved, or assayed).
11 Thou leddest us into a snare, thou puttedest tribulations in our back; (Thou hast led us into a trap, thou hast put troubles upon our backs;)
12 thou settedest men on our heads. We passed by fire and water; and thou leddest us out into refreshing. (thou settedest men to ride upon our heads. We passed through fire and water; and then thou leddest us out into refreshing.)
