9he has preserved our lives

and kept our feet from slipping.

10For you, O God, tested us;

you refined us like silver.

11You brought us into prison

and laid burdens on our backs.

12You let men ride over our heads;

we went through fire and water,

but you brought us to a place of abundance.

13I will come to your temple with burnt offerings

and fulfill my vows to you—

14vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke

when I was in trouble.

15I will sacrifice fat animals to you

and an offering of rams;

I will offer bulls and goats.       Selah

16Come and listen, all you who fear God;

let me tell you what he has done for me.

17I cried out to him with my mouth;

his praise was on my tongue.

18If I had cherished sin in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened;

19but God has surely listened

and heard my voice in prayer.

20Praise be to God,

who has not rejected my prayer

or withheld his love from me!
