Psalms 66

Psalms 66:12

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.

Thou hast caused us to be miserably trampled upon, by our scornful and imperious enemies; and hast put us to all manner of hard trials: there is no afflictive element, which we have not passed through, by thy just sufferance and ordination; but, at last, thou hast put an end to our troubles, and hast settled us in a quiet plenty.

Psalms 66:18

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.

If I give myself over to wickedness, I have no reason to expect favour from my God: how should I look for other, than that he should mark me out for vengeance!
