Read Psalm 66:8-20 on biblegateway.com

Verse ⁸Bless our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard,

Verse ⁹who has kept us among the living, and has not let our feet slip.

Verse ¹⁰For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.

Verse ¹¹You brought us into the net; you laid burdens on our backs;

Verse ¹²you let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a spacious place.

Verse ¹³I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows,

Verse ¹⁴those that my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.

Verse ¹⁵I will offer to you burnt offerings of fatlings, with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams; I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah

Verse ¹⁶Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me.

Verse ¹⁷I cried aloud to him, and he was extolled with my tongue.

Verse ¹⁸If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

Verse ¹⁹But truly God has listened; he has given heed to the words of my prayer.

Verse ²⁰Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me.
