ESVEnglish Standard Version

For you, O God, have tested us;

you have tried us as silver is tried.

You brought us into the net;

you laid a crushing burden on our backs;

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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

For you, God, tested us;

you refined us like silver.

You brought us into prison

and laid burdens on our backs.

You let people ride over our heads;

we went through fire and water,

but you brought us to a place of abundance.

NLTNew Living Translation

You have tested us, O God;

you have purified us like silver.

You captured us in your net

and laid the burden of slavery on our backs.

Then you put a leader over us.

We went through fire and flood,

but you brought us to a place of great abundance.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

For you have tested us, O God;

you have tried us as silver is tried.

You brought us into the net;

you placed a heavy burden on our backs.

You let men ride over our heads.

We went through fire and through water,

but you have brought us out to the place of abundance.

KJV 1900King James Version

For thou, O God, hast proved us:

Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

Thou broughtest us into the net;

Thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads;

We went through fire and through water:

But thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
