O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

Praise(A) our God, all peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard;
he has preserved our lives(B)
    and kept our feet from slipping.(C)
10 For you, God, tested(D) us;
    you refined us like silver.(E)
11 You brought us into prison(F)
    and laid burdens(G) on our backs.
12 You let people ride over our heads;(H)
    we went through fire and water,
    but you brought us to a place of abundance.(I)

13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings(J)
    and fulfill my vows(K) to you—
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
    when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
    and an offering of rams;
    I will offer bulls and goats.(L)

16 Come and hear,(M) all you who fear God;
    let me tell(N) you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
    his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened;(O)
19 but God has surely listened
    and has heard(P) my prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
    who has not rejected(Q) my prayer
    or withheld his love from me!

Bless our God, O peoples;
    let the sound of his praise be heard,
who has kept our soul among the living
    and (A)has not let our feet slip.
10 For you, O God, have (B)tested us;
    you have tried us as silver is tried.
11 You brought us into (C)the net;
    you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
12 you let men (D)ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and through (E)water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

13 I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
    I will (F)perform my vows to you,
14 that which my lips uttered
    and my mouth promised (G)when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fattened animals,
    with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah

16 (H)Come and hear, all you who fear God,
    and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth,
    and high praise was on[a] my tongue.[b]
18 If I had (I)cherished iniquity in my heart,
    (J)the Lord would not have listened.
19 But truly (K)God has listened;
    he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,
    because he has not rejected my prayer
    or removed his steadfast love from me!
