Psalms 66:10-19 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

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.

13. I will enter Your house with burnt offerings;I will pay You my vows

14. that my lips promisedand my mouth spoke during my distress.

15. I will offer You fattened sheep as burnt offerings,with the fragrant smoke of rams;I will sacrifice oxen with goats. Selah

16. Come and listen, all who fear God,and I will tell what He has done for me.

17. I cried out to Him with my mouth,and praise was on my tongue.

18. If I had been aware of malice in my heart,the Lord would not have listened.

19. However, God has listened;He has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.
