8 Bless our God, you peoples;loudly sound his praise,
9 Who has kept us aliveand not allowed our feet to slip.
10 You tested us, O God,tried us as silver tried by fire.
11 You led us into a snare;you bound us at the waist as captives.
12 You let captors set foot on our neck;we went through fire and water;then you led us out to freedom.
13 I will bring burnt offerings to your house;to you I will fulfill my vows,
14 Which my lips pronouncedand my mouth spoke in my distress.
