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.
13. I will enter your temple with burnt sacrifices;I will fulfill the vows I made to you,
14. which my lips utteredand my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.
15. I will offer up to you fattened animals as burnt sacrifices,along with the smell of sacrificial rams.I will offer cattle and goats. (Selah)
16. Come! Listen, all you who are loyal to God!I will declare what he has done for me.
17. I cried out to him for helpand praised him with my tongue.
18. If I had harbored sin in my heart,the Lord would not have listened.
