7. He rules by his power forever;he watches the nations.Stubborn rebels should not exalt themselves. (Selah)
8. Praise our God, you nations!Loudly proclaim his praise!
9. He preserves our livesand does not allow our feet to slip.
10. For you, O God, tested us;you purified us like refined silver.
11. You led us into a trap;you caused us to suffer.
12. You allowed men to ride over our heads;we passed through fire and water,but you brought us out into a wide open place.
