Psalm 66:8-20

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ Bless our God, O peoples;
    let the sound of his praise be heard,^(A)
9 who has kept us among the living
    and has not let our feet slip.^(B)
10 For you, O God, have tested us;
    you have tried us as silver is tried.^(C)
11 You brought us into the net;
    you laid burdens on our backs;^(D)
12 you let people ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and through water;
yet you have brought us out to a spacious place.^[a](E)

¹³ I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
    I will pay you my vows,^(F)
14 those that my lips uttered
    and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.^(G)
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fatted calves,
    with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah^(H)

¹⁶ Come and hear, all you who fear God,
    and I will tell what he has done for me.^(I)
17 I cried aloud to him,
    and he was extolled with my tongue.
¹⁸ If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened.^(J)
19 But truly God has listened;
    he has heard the words of my prayer.^(K)

²⁰ Blessed be God,
    who has not rejected my prayer
    or removed his steadfast love from me.^(L)
