Let the whole world bless our God
and loudly sing his praises.
Our lives are in his hands,
and he keeps our feet from stumbling.
You have tested us, O God;
you have purified us like silver.
You captured us in your net
and laid the burden of slavery on our backs.
Then you put a leader over us.
 
We went through fire and flood,
            but you brought us to a place of
great abundance.

Psalm 66:8-12, NLT
