Psalm 66:8-20

8Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;

9he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.

10For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver.

11You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.

12You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.

13I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you—

14vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.

15I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats.

16Come and hear, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.

17I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.

18If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;

19but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer. 20Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
