Context of Psalms 66:11

9He preserves our lives and does not allow our feet to slip. 10For you, O God, tested us; you purified us like refined silver. You led us into a trap; you caused us to suffer. 12You allowed men to ride over our heads; we passed through fire and water, but you brought us out into a wide open place. 13I will enter your temple with burnt sacrifices; I will fulfill the vows I made to you,
