“Bless our God, O peoples;
        let the sound of his praise be heard,
     who has kept our soul among the living
        and has not let our feet slip.
     For you, O God, have tested us;
        you have tried us as silver is tried.
     You brought us into the net;
        you laid a crushing burden 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.”
 (Psalm 66:8-12 ESV)

“May God be gracious to us and bless us
        and make his face to shine upon us, Selah
     that your way may be known on earth,
        your saving power among all nations.
     Let the peoples praise you, O God;
        let all the peoples praise you!

    Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
        for you judge the peoples with equity
        and guide the nations upon earth. Selah
     Let the peoples praise you, O God;
        let all the peoples praise you!

    The earth has yielded its increase;
        God, our God, shall bless us.
     God shall bless us;
        let all the ends of the earth fear him!”
 (Psalm 67 ESV)
