Psalm 66:8-20
English Standard Version
8 Bless our God, O peoples;
let the sound of his praise be heard,
9 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!
