16. Draw near and listen, all you who fear God, and I will describe to you how much he has done for my soul.
17. I cried out to him with my mouth, and I extolled him under my breath.
18. If I have seen iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not heed me.
19. And yet, God has heeded me and he has attended to the voice of my supplication.
20. Blessed is God, who has not removed my prayer, nor his mercy, from me.
