9 Who puts and holds our soul in life, Our feet from [hurtful] sliding stays.
10 For thou didst prove and try us, Lord, As men [by fire] do silver try;
11 Broughtest us into the net, and laidst [Bonds of] grief on our loins to lye.
11 Brought'st us into the net, and layd'st [Bonds of] grief on our loyns to lye.
12 Over our heads thou madest men ride, Through fire and [water] floods to pass; But thou through all hast brought us out Into a [watered] wealthy place.
