Psalm 66:8-12
Common English Bible
8 All you nations, bless our God!
Let the sound of his praise be heard!
9 God preserved us among the living;
he didn’t let our feet slip a bit.
10 But you, God, have tested us—
you’ve refined us like silver,
11 trapped us in a net,
laid burdens on our backs,
12 let other people run right over our heads—
we’ve been through fire and water.
But you brought us out to freedom!
Tehillim 66:8-12
Orthodox Jewish Bible
8 Barchu Eloheinu, Amim, and make the kol (sound) of His tehillah (praise) to be heard.
9 He is the One who set nafsheinu in chayyim and does not permit ragleinu (our foot) to slip.
10 For Thou, Elohim, hath tested us and hast proved us; Thou hast put us in the crucible’s refining and refined us as kesef.
11 Thou broughtest us into the metzudah (prison); Thou laidst a mu’akah (burden) upon our loins.
12 Thou hast caused enosh (mankind) to ride over rosheinu (our head); we went through eish and through mayim; but Thou broughtest us out into plenty.
