9. He has kept us aliveand 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⌋ mouthwhen I was in trouble.
15. I will offer you a sacrifice of fattened livestock for burnt offeringswith the smoke from rams.I will offer cattle and goats. Selah
16. Come and listen, all who fear God,and I will tell you what he has done for me.
17. With my mouth I cried out to him.High praise was on my tongue.
18. If I had thought about doing anything sinful,the Lord would not have listened ⌊to me⌋.
19. But God has heard me.He has paid attention to my prayer.
20. Thanks be to God,who has not rejected my prayeror taken away his mercy from me.
