8 All of you people,come praise our God!Let his praises be heard.
9 God protects us from deathand keeps us steady.
10 Our God, you tested us,just as silver is tested.
11 You trapped us in a netand gave us heavy burdens.
12 You sent war chariotsto crush our skulls.We traveled through fireand through floods,but you brought usto a land of plenty.
13 I will bring sacrificesinto your house, my God,and I will do what I promised
14 when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice my best sheepand offer bulls and goatson your altar.
16 All who worship God,come here and listen;I will tell you everythingGod has done for me.
17 I prayed to the Lord,and I praised him.
18 If my thoughts had been sinful,he would have refusedto hear me.
19 But God did listenand answered my prayer.
20 Let's praise God!He listened when I prayed,and he is always kind.
