Psalms

Psalm 66:12–16

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 —

¹⁴the vows that my lips promised

and my mouth spoke in my distress.

¹⁵I will offer You fatlings as burnt offerings,

with the fragrant smoke of rams;

I will offer bulls and goats.

Selah

¹⁶Come and listen, all you who fear God,

and I will declare what He has done for me.
