hast proved us.
tried.
 God is seen in the trouble itself, and as the author of it; though our failures may have been the occasion of it. This is the true test of the heart being right—what is called (as to Israel, in Leviticus), accepting the punishment of our iniquity. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 64-77 by J.N. Darby)
 They had been tried in the furnace of affliction, as silver is tried to remove the dross. (Psalms 66 by H. Smith)
 God had been dealing with them according to His own holiness, and for their blessing. Thus, looking beyond the wickedness of men they take their trials from God. They say, “Thou” hast done these things. (Psalms 66 by H. Smith)
