Psalms 66 — Context

Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;

Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.

For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.

You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.

You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.

I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,

Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.
