Psalms 66:9
7 He rules forever by His power; His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8 Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard.
He preserves our lives and keeps our feet from slipping.
10 For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver.
11 You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
