7. He rules by His might forever. His eyes keep watch on the nations. Let no rebels exalt themselves. Selah
8. Bless our God, O peoples! Let the sound of His praise be heard.
9. Keeping our soul in life, He has not let our foot slip.
10. For You have tested us, O God— You have purified us, as silver is refined.
11. You brought us into a net. You laid a burden on our backs.
12. You caused men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and water. Yet You brought us out to superabundance.
13. With burnt offerings I will come to Your House, fulfilling my vows to You
14. that my lips uttered and mouth spoke, when I was in trouble.
15. To You I will present burnt offerings of fat animals, with the sweet smoke of rams. I will offer bulls with goats. Selah
16. Come and listen, all you who fear God. I will tell what He has done for my soul.
17. I cried out to Him with my mouth, and exaltation was on my tongue.
18. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
19. But surely God has heard. He has listened to my voice in prayer.
