8. O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: 9. Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. 10. For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. 11. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. 12. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy [place].

Commentary on Psalms 66:8

Theological / Devotional

Ye people. Or, “O ye peoples”; the Hebrew is plural, evidently referring to the nations.

Verses 8–12 constitute the third stanza, the heart of the psalm, in which the people are invited to praise God for deliverance before uniting with the psalmist in the act of sacrifice (vs. 13–15).
