Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip. Psalm 66

“You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs, you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance. Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings to fulfill the vows I made to you, vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.” Help us, Lord, to keep the vows we make to you when we were in trouble and called out to you for help and you heard us.
