| 10For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver. | 10For You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined. |
| 11You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. | 11You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins. |

| 18If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; | 18If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear; |
| 19but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer. | 19But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. |
| 20Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! | 20Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me. |
