Psalms 66:8-12

⁸Bless, O ye people, our God, and cause the voice of his praise to be heard:

⁹Who hath appointed our soul to life, and hath not suffered our foot to slip.

¹⁰For thou hast proved us, O God: thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.

¹¹Thou hast brought us into the net; thou hast placed fetters upon our loins.

¹²Thou hast caused men to ride on our head: we entered into fire and into water; but thou broughtest us out to the enjoyment of overflowing plenty. a
