Psalm 66:16-20

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Come close and listen,
    all you who honor God;
    I will tell you what God has done for me:
¹⁷ My mouth cried out to him
    with praise on my tongue.
¹⁸ If I had cherished evil in my heart,
    my Lord would not have listened.
¹⁹ But God definitely listened.
    He heard the sound of my prayer.
²⁰ Bless God! He didn’t reject my prayer;
    he didn’t withhold his faithful love from me.
