Psalm 66:8-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ Bless our God, O peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard,
⁹ who has kept us among the living,
    and has not let our feet slip.
¹⁰ For thou, O God, hast tested us;
    thou hast tried us as silver is tried.
¹¹ Thou didst bring us into the net;
    thou didst lay affliction on our loins;
¹² thou didst let men ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and through water;
yet thou hast brought us forth to a spacious place.^[a]

¹³ I will come into thy house with burnt offerings;
    I will pay thee my vows,
¹⁴ that which my lips uttered
    and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.
¹⁵ I will offer to thee burnt offerings of fatlings,
    with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats.Selah

¹⁶ Come and hear, all you who fear God,
    and I will tell what he has done for me.
¹⁷ I cried aloud to him,
    and he was extolled with my tongue.
¹⁸ If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened.
¹⁹ But truly God has listened;
    he has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

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