Psalm 66:8-20

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ For you, God, tested us;
you refined us as silver is refined.^(C)
11 You lured us into a trap;
you placed burdens on our backs.^(D)
12 You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us out to abundance.^[b](E)

¹³ I will enter your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay you my vows^(F)
14 that my lips promised
and my mouth spoke during my distress.^(G)
15 I will offer you fattened sheep as burnt offerings,
with the fragrant smoke of rams;
I will sacrifice bulls with goats.^(H)Selah

¹⁶ Come and listen, all who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for me.^(I)
17 I cried out to him with my mouth,
and praise was on my tongue.^(J)
18 If I had been aware of malice in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.^(K)
19 However, God has listened;
he has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.^(L)
20 Blessed be God!
He has not turned away my prayer
or turned his faithful love from me.^(M)
