כִּֽי־בְחַנְתָּ֥נוּ אֱלֹהִ֑ים צְ֝רַפְתָּ֗נוּ כִּצְרָף־כָּֽסֶף׃
Car tu nous as éprouvés, ô notre Dieu, jetés au creuset comme on fait de l’argent.
Rashi on Psalms
You tested us with distress in the exile.
Rashi on Psalms
You refined us to remove the dross from us when we repent before You, as they refine silver to remove its dross.
