Psalms [Praises] 66:8-14

⁸Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his tehilah ·praise song· be sh'ma ·heard obeyed·,

⁹who preserves our life among the living, and does not allow our feet to be moved.

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

¹¹You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.

¹²You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.

¹³I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,

¹⁴which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
