From the Morning Bible Readings

Bless our God, O peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard,
who has kept us among the living,
    and has not let our feet slip.
For thou, O God, hast tested us;
    thou hast tried us as silver is tried.
Thou didst bring us into the net;
    thou didst lay affliction on our loins;
thou didst let men ride over our heads;
    we went through fire and through water;
yet thou hast brought us forth to a spacious place.

–Psalm 66:8-12
