Psalms 66:11
9 He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from slipping.
10 For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver.
You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs.
12 You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us into abundance.
13 I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—
