17 In my distress my mouth to him Sent forth my [humble] earnest cry; And his great name I with my tongue [With praise] extolled fervently.
18 I know if I do in my heart Iniquity [love and] regard, When I to him my prayer make, I shall not then [by him] be heard.
19 But God did hear me readily, And [he did] graciously attend Unto my praying voice and cry, Which I to him did [humbly] send.
20 And blessed be the Lord my God, Who hath not [from me] turned away His mercy; not denied my suit When I to him did [seek and] pray.
20 And blessed be the Lord my God, Who hath not [from me] turn'd away His mercy; not deny'd my suit When I to him did [seek and] pray.
