8. O bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard.
9. It is he who placed our soul into life and did not suffer our feet to slip.
10. For thou, O God, hast proved us; thou hast refined us as silver is refined.
11. Thou didst bring us into the net; thou didst lay affliction upon our loins.
12. Thou hast placed a man over our head; we went through fire and through water, but thou didst bring us out into abundance.
