8. Bless our God, you peoples;loudly sound his praise,
9. Who has kept us aliveand not allowed our feet to slip.
10. You tested us, O God,tried us as silver tried by fire.
11. You led us into a snare;you bound us at the waist as captives.
12. You let captors set foot on our neck;we went through fire and water;then you led us out to freedom.
