Context of Psalms 66:11
9He keeps our lives safe. He does not let us fall to the ground. 10You have tested us, God. You wanted to make us pure, as they make silver pure in a hot fire. You caused a trap to catch us, so that we had much pain and trouble. 12You gave people power to hurt us. We went through dangerous fire and water. But then you brought us into a safe, open place. 13I will bring burnt offerings to your Temple. I will bring to you the gifts that I promised.
