Psalm 66:10-12
New English Translation
10 For[a] you, O God, tested us;
you purified us like refined silver.
11 You led us into a trap;[b]
you caused us to suffer.[c]
12 You allowed men to ride over our heads;
we passed through fire and water,
but you brought us out into a wide open place.[d]

- Psalm 66:12 tc The MT reads רְוָיָה (revayah, “saturation”) but this should be emended to רְוָחָה (revakhah, “wide open place”; i.e., “relief”), a reading supported by several ancient versions (LXX, Syriac, Jerome, Targum).
