Psalm 66:7–18
7 He rules foreverk by his power,
his eyes watchl the nations—
let not the rebelliousm rise up against him.
8 Praisen our God, all peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard;
9 he has preserved our liveso
and kept our feet from slipping.p
10 For you, God, testedq us;
you refined us like silver.r
11 You brought us into prisons
and laid burdenst on our backs.
12 You let people ride over our heads;u
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us to a place of abundance.v
13 I will come to your temple with burnt offeringsw
and fulfill my vowsx 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.y
16 Come and hear,z all you who fear God;
let me tella you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened;b
