- Bless our God, O peoples, And sound His praise abroad,
- Who keeps us in life And does not allow our feet to slip.
- For You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined.
- You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.
- You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water, Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.
|
- Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;
- he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.
- For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver.
- You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.
- You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.

- I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows,
- Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.
- I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts, With the smoke of rams; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats. Selah.
- Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.
- I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue.
|
- I will come to your temple with burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you-
- vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.
- I will sacrifice fat animals to you and an offering of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah
- Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me.
- I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue.
|
- If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear;
- But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
- Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me.
|
- If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;
- but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer.
- Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
