17 I cried out to him with my mouth;

his praise was on my tongue.

18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened;

19 but God has surely listened

and has heard my prayer.

20 Praise be to God,

who has not rejected my prayer

or withheld his love from me!

17 I cried to him with my mouth,

and high praise was on my tongue.

18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,

20 Blessed be God,

because he has not rejected my prayer

or removed his steadfast love from me!

17 I cried unto him with my mouth,

And he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,

The Lord will not hear me:

19 But verily God hath heard me;

He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer,

17 For I cried out to him for help,

praising him as I spoke.

18 If I had not confessed the sin in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened.

19 But God did listen!

He paid attention to my prayer.

20 Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer

or withdraw his unfailing love from me.

17 I cried out to him with my mouth

and praised him with my tongue.

18 If I had known of any sin in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened to me.

19 But God has listened;

he has heard my prayer.

20 Praise God,

who did not ignore my prayer

or hold back his love from me.

17 I cried unto him with my mouth,

And he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,

The Lord will not hear:

19 But verily God hath heard;

He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,

Who hath not turned away my prayer,

Nor his lovingkindness from me.

17 I called unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. 18 Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear. 19 But God hath heard; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his loving-kindness from me!

17 With my mouth I cried out to him. 

High praise was on my tongue. 

18 If I had thought about doing anything sinful, 

the Lord would not have listened ⸤to me⸥. 

19 But God has heard me. 

He has paid attention to my prayer. 

20 Thanks be to God, 

who has not rejected my prayer 

or taken away his mercy from me. 

17 I cried out to Him with my mouth,

and praise was on my tongue.

18 If I had been aware of malice in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened.

19 However, God has listened;

He has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.

20 May God be praised!

He has not turned away my prayer

or turned His faithful love from me.

17 I cried aloud to him,

and he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened.

19 But truly God has listened;

he has given heed to the words of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,

because he has not rejected my prayer

or removed his steadfast love from me.

17 I called to him with my mouth,

and he was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I had considered evil in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened.

19 However, God has listened;

he has attended to the sound of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,

who has not turned aside my prayer,

or his loyal love from me.

17 I cried out to him with my mouth.

I praised him with my tongue.

18 If I had enjoyed having sin in my heart,

the Lord would not have listened.

19 But God has listened.

He has heard my prayer.

20 Give praise to God.

He has accepted my prayer.

He has not held his love back from me.

17 I cried to Him with my mouth,

And He was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I regard wickedness in my heart,

The Lord will not hear;

19 But certainly God has heard;

He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,

Who has not turned away my prayer

Nor His lovingkindness from me.
