For you, O God, tested us; you purified us like refined silver.

Their idols are made of silver and gold – they are man-made.

The nations’ idols are made of silver and gold, they are man-made.

The Lord’s words are absolutely reliable. They are as untainted as silver purified in a furnace on the ground, where it is thoroughly refined.

Sound your battle cry against the wild beast of the reeds, and the nations that assemble like a herd of calves led by bulls! They humble themselves and offer gold and silver as tribute. God scatters the nations that like to do battle.
