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—

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
