9Who keeps our soul among the living, And does not allow our feet to be moved. | 9He gives us life and does not permit our feet to slip. |
10For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined. | 10For you, God, tested us, to purify us like fine silver. |
11You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs. | 11You have led us into a trap and set burdens on our backs. |
12You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfillment. | 12You caused men to ride over us. You brought us through fire and water, but you led us to abundance. |
13I will go into Your house with burnt offerings; I will pay You my vows, | 13I will come to your house with burnt offerings. I will fulfill my vows to you |
14Which my lips have uttered And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble. | 14that my lips uttered and that my mouth spoke when I was in trouble. |
15I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals, With the sweet aroma of rams; I will offer bulls with goats. Selah | 15I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat, along with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams. I will offer bulls along with goats. Interlude |
16Come and hear, all you who fear God, And I will declare what He has done for my soul. | 16Come and listen, all of you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me. |
17I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue. | 17I called aloud to him and praised him with my tongue. |
18If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear. | 18Were I to cherish iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not listen to me. |
19But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. | 19Surely God has heard, and he paid attention to my prayers. |
20Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me! | 20Blessed be God, who did not turn away my prayers nor his gracious love from me. |
