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.

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.

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: Thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. 11 Thou broughtest us into the net; Thou laidst affliction upon our loins. 12 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

10 For you have tested us, O God;

you have tried us as silver is tried.

11 You brought us into the net;

you placed a heavy burden on our backs.

12 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.

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.

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.
