8 People, praise our God. Sing loud songs of praise to him.
9 He continues to give us life, and he keeps us from falling.
10 God, you have tested us, as people test silver with fire.
11 You let us be trapped. You put heavy burdens on us.
12 You let our enemies run over us. We went through fire and water, but you brought us to a safe place.
13-14 So I bring sacrifices to your Temple. When I was in trouble, I asked for help and made promises to you. Now I am giving you what I promised.
15 I bring my best sheep as burnt offerings. I offer the smoke from them up to you. I give you sacrifices of bulls and goats. Selah
