7 He rules by His power forever;
His eyes observe the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

8 Oh, bless our God, you peoples!
And make the voice of His praise to be heard,

10 For ^aYou, O God, have tested us;
^bYou have refined us as silver is refined. ‡

11 ^aYou brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs. ‡
