Psalms 66:8-12

Come and See, Come and Hear the God Who Delivers and Hears

Psalm 66 moves from global praise, to remembered exodus deliverance, to corporate testimony of refining affliction, to individual vow-fulfillment and assurance that God heard prayer.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

8Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard.

9He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from slipping.

10For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver.

11You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs.

12You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us into abundance.
