16 Come and hear, all you who fear God.
    I will declare what he has done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth.
    He was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I cherished sin in my heart,
    the Lord wouldn’t have listened.
19 But most certainly, God has listened.
    He has heard the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer,
    nor his loving kindness from me.

Come and hear, all who fear God [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],
And I will tell what He has done for me.

The Lord will not hear [me];(A)
19 
But certainly God has heard [me];
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
20 
Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.
