Psalms

Psalm 66:10–13

¹⁰For You, O God, have tested us;

You have refined us like silver.

¹¹You led us into the net;

You laid burdens on our backs.

¹²You let men ride over our heads;

we went through fire and water,

but You brought us into abundance.

¹³I will enter Your house with burnt offerings;

I will fulfill my vows to You —
