7 God rules with power forever;keeps a good eye on the nations.So don’t let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8 All you nations, bless our God!Let the sound of his praise be heard!
9 God preserved us among the living;he didn’t let our feet slip a bit.
10 But you, God, have tested us—you’ve refined us like silver,
11 trapped us in a net,laid burdens on our backs,
12 let other people run right over our heads—we’ve been through fire and water.But you brought us out to freedom!
13 So I’ll enter your housewith entirely burned offerings.I’ll keep the promises I made to you,
