²⁷ You will make your prayer to him, and be answered; and you will give effect to your oaths.

⁹ Then at the sound of your voice, the Lord will give an answer; at your cry he will say, Here am I. If you take away from among you the yoke, the putting out of the finger of shame, and the evil word;

¹⁴ And we are certain that if we make any request to him which is right in his eyes, he will give ear to us:

¹⁵ And if we are certain that he gives ear to all our requests, we are equally certain that we will get our requests.

¹⁴ Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;

¹⁵ Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.

¹⁷ My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.

¹⁸ I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:

¹⁹ But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰ Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.

¹³ I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,

¹⁴ Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.

²⁶ He makes his prayer to God, and he has mercy on him; he sees God's face with cries of joy; he gives news of his righteousness to men;

⁹ The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.

⁴ It is better not to take an oath than to take an oath and not keep it.

¹⁴ I will make the offering of my oath to the Lord, even before all his people.

¹ I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.

¹⁵ When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour.

¹² I keep the memory of my debt to you, O God; I will give you the offerings of praise.

²⁸ So that the cry of the poor might come up to him, and the prayer of those in need come to his ears.
