Psalms 66:18

¹⁶ Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for me.

¹⁷ I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue.

If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

¹⁹ But God has surely heard; He has attended to the sound of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld from me His loving devotion!
