8
Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
9
Who keeps our soul among the living, And does not allow our feet to be moved.
10
For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined.
11
You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs.
12
You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.
13
I will go into Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows,
14
Which my lips have uttered And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.
15
I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals, With the sweet aroma of rams; I will offer bulls with goats. Selah
16
Come and hear, all you who fear God, And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17
I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue.
18
If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear.
19
But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20
Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me!
