8 Praise our God, all peoples,

let the sound of his praise be heard;

9 he has preserved our lives

and kept our feet from slipping.

10 For you, God, tested us;

you refined us like silver.

11 You brought us into prison

and laid burdens on our backs.

12 You let people ride over our heads;

we went through fire and water,

but you brought us to a place of abundance.

13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings

and fulfill my vows to you—

14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke

when I was in trouble.

15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you

and an offering of rams;

I will offer bulls and goats.

8 Bless our God, O peoples;

let the sound of his praise be heard,

9 who has kept our soul among the living

and has not let our feet slip.

10 For you, O God, have tested us;

you have tried us as silver is tried.

11 You brought us into the net;

you laid a crushing burden on our backs;

12 you let men ride over our heads;

we went through fire and through water;

yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings;

I will perform my vows to you,

14 that which my lips uttered

and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,

with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;

I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah

8 Let the whole world bless our God

and loudly sing his praises.

9 Our lives are in his hands,

and he keeps our feet from stumbling.

10 You have tested us, O God;

you have purified us like silver.

11 You captured us in your net

and laid the burden of slavery on our backs.

12 Then you put a leader over us.

We went through fire and flood,

but you brought us to a place of great abundance.

13 Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings

to fulfill the vows I made to you—

14 yes, the sacred vows that I made

when I was in deep trouble.

15 That is why I am sacrificing burnt offerings to you—

the best of my rams as a pleasing aroma,

and a sacrifice of bulls and male goats.

Interlude

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

8 You people, praise our God;

loudly sing his praise.

9 He protects our lives

and does not let us be defeated.

10 God, you have tested us;

you have purified us like silver.

11 You let us be trapped

and put a heavy load on us.

12 You let our enemies walk on our heads.

We went through fire and flood,

but you brought us to a place with good things.

13 I will come to your Temple with burnt offerings.

I will give you what I promised,

14 things I promised when I was in trouble.

15 I will bring you offerings of fat animals,

and I will offer sheep, bulls, and goats.

Selah

8 Oh bless our God, ye peoples,

And make the voice of his praise to be heard;

9 Who holdeth our soul in life,

And suffereth not our feet to be moved.

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us:

Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

11 Thou broughtest us into the net;

Thou layedst a sore burden upon our loins.

12 Thou didst cause men to ride over our heads;

We went through fire and through water;

But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

13 I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings;

I will pay thee my vows,

14 Which my lips uttered,

And my mouth spake, when I was in distress.

15 I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings,

With the incense of rams;

I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah

8 Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard; 9 Who hath set our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. 10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. 11 Thou broughtest us into a net, thou didst lay a heavy burden upon our loins; 12 Thou didst cause men to ride over our head; we went through fire and through water: but thou hast brought us out into abundance.

13 I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will perform my vows to thee, 14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. 15 I will offer up unto thee burnt-offerings of fatted beasts, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

8 Thank our God, you nations. 

Make the sound of his praise heard. 

9 He has kept us alive 

and has not allowed us to fall. 

10 You have tested us, O God. 

You have refined us in the same way silver is refined. 

11 You have trapped us in a net. 

You have laid burdens on our backs. 

12 You let people ride over our heads. 

We went through fire and water, 

but then you brought us out and refreshed us. 

13 I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. 

I will keep my vows to you, 

14 the vows made by my lips and spoken by my ⸤own⸥ mouth 

when I was in trouble. 

15 I will offer you a sacrifice of fattened livestock for burnt offerings 

with the smoke from rams. 

I will offer cattle and goats. 

Selah

10 For You, God, tested us;

You refined us as silver is refined.

11 You lured us into a trap;

You placed burdens on our backs.

12 You let men ride over our heads;

we went through fire and water,

but You brought us out to abundance.

13 I will enter Your house with burnt offerings;

I will pay You my vows

14 that my lips promised

and my mouth spoke during my distress.

15 I will offer You fattened sheep as burnt offerings,

with the fragrant smoke of rams;

I will sacrifice oxen with goats. Selah

10 For you, O God, have tested us;

you have tried us as silver is tried.

11 You brought us into the net;

you laid burdens on our backs;

12 you let people ride over our heads;

we went through fire and through water;

yet you have brought us out to a spacious place.

13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings;

I will pay you my vows,

14 those that my lips uttered

and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.

Let the sound of the praise you give him be heard.

9 He has kept us alive.

He has kept our feet from slipping.

10 God, you have put us to the test.

You put us through fire to make us like silver.

11 You put us in prison.

You placed heavy loads on our backs.

12 You let people run over our heads.

We went through fire and water.

But you brought us to a place

where we have everything we need.

13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings.

I will keep my promises to you.

14 I made them with my lips.

My mouth spoke them when I was in trouble.

15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you as burnt offerings.

I will offer rams, bulls and goats to you. Selah

8 Bless our God, O peoples,

And sound His praise abroad,

9 Who keeps us in life

And does not allow our feet to slip.

10 For You have tried us, O God;

You have refined us as silver is refined.

11 You brought us into the net;

You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.

12 You made men ride over our heads;

We went through fire and through water,

Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.

13 I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings;

I shall pay You my vows,

14 Which my lips uttered

And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.

15 I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts,

With the smoke of rams;

I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats.

Selah.
