23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up;
You will remove iniquity far from your tents.
24 Then you will (A)lay your gold in the dust,
And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25 Yes, the Almighty will be your [a]gold
And your precious silver;
26 For then you will have your (B)delight in the Almighty,
And lift up your face to God.
27 (C)You will make your prayer to Him,
He will hear you,
And you will pay your vows.
