10. God, you have put us to the test. You put us through fire to make us like silver.
11. You put us in prison. You placed heavy loads on our backs.
12. You let people run over our heads. We went through fire and water. But you brought us to a place where we have everything we need.
13. I will come to your temple with burnt offerings. I will keep my promises to you.
14. I made them with my lips. My mouth spoke them when I was in trouble.
15. I will sacrifice fat animals to you as burnt offerings. I will offer rams, bulls and goats to you. Selah
16. Come and listen, all of you who have respect for God. Let me tell you what he has done for me.
17. I cried out to him with my mouth. I praised him with my tongue.
18. If I had enjoyed having sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
19. But God has listened. He has heard my prayer.
