Psa 66:11 | MHM | STEP | v. 11–12 : The psalmist remembers times of deep trouble: Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins . They felt trapped and burdened, like being caught in a net or pressed down by a heavy load. They went through many dangers, like fire and water (Psalm 66:12 ). Sometimes, cruel people ruled over them, treating them like slaves and insulting them (Isaiah 51:23 ). But even in these hard times, the people recognized that God was in control, allowing these things for a purpose. God may allow oppression, but He never loses control (Psalm 124:2
