¹⁷ I cried out to him with my mouth;
    his praise was on my tongue.

¹⁹ but God has surely listened
    and has heard^(A) my prayer.
²⁰ Praise be to God,
    who has not rejected^(B) my prayer
    or withheld his love from me!

²⁰ Leave Babylon,
    flee^(A) from the Babylonians!
Announce this with shouts of joy^(B)
    and proclaim it.
Send it out to the ends of the earth;^(C)
    say, “The Lord has redeemed^(D) his servant Jacob.”
