13
I will come to your Temple with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my promises to you,
14
the promises I made when I was in trouble.
15
I will sacrifice burnt offerings to you of fattened livestock—the smoke of the sacrifice of rams, offerings of bulls and goats. Selah.

Come and listen, everyone who honors God, and I will tell you all he has done for me.

I called out to him, and praised him with my voice.
18
If I had focused my mind on evil, the Lord would not have listened to me.

But God did hear me! He listened to what I had to say in my prayer!
20
Praise God, who did not disregard my prayer or take his trustworthy love from me.
