16 Come close and listen,all you who honor God;I will tell you what God has done for me:
17 My mouth cried out to himwith praise on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished evil in my heart,my Lord would not have listened.
19 But God definitely listened.He heard the sound of my prayer.
20 Bless God! He didn’t reject my prayer;he didn’t withhold his faithful love from me.
