Psalm 66:9-20 English Standard Version (ESV)

9. who has kept our soul among the livingand 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 utteredand 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

16. Come and hear, all you who fear God,and I will tell what he has done for my soul.

17. I cried to him with my mouth,and high praise was on my tongue.

18. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

19. But truly God has listened;he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20. Blessed be God,because he has not rejected my prayeror removed his steadfast love from me!
