Psalms 66:9-19

⁹who keeps us in life, and keeps our feet from slipping.

¹⁰For you, God, have tested us, have tried us, as silver is tried.

¹¹You did bring us into prison, and put chains upon us,

¹²you did let people ride over our head. We went through fire and through water, but you led us out to a spacious place.

¹³I will enter your house with burnt-offerings, I will pay to you my vows,

¹⁴which my open lips have uttered, arid my mouth has declared in my straits.

¹⁵I will offer you offerings of fatlings, with the odour of burning rams, I will sacrifice bullocks with goats. Selah

¹⁶Come and hear my story all who fear God — of what he has done for me.

¹⁷For my mouth had no sooner invoked him than his praise was under my tongue.

¹⁸Had I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would never have listened.

¹⁹But assuredly God has listened, and attended to my loud prayer.
