13 Now I come to your Temple with burnt offeringsto fulfill the vows I made to you—
14 yes, the sacred vows that I madewhen I was in deep trouble.
15 That is why I am sacrificing burnt offerings to you—the best of my rams as a pleasing aroma,and a sacrifice of bulls and male goats.Interlude
16 Come and listen, all you who fear God,and I will tell you what he did for me.
17 For I cried out to him for help,praising him as I spoke.
18 If I had not confessed the sin in my heart,the Lord would not have listened.
19 But God did listen!He paid attention to my prayer.
