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

9 Who keeps our soul among the living,
And does not allow our feet to¹ be moved. ‡

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

12 ^aYou have caused men to ride over our heads;
^bWe went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to¹ rich fulfillment. ‡
