Psalms 66:18

¹⁸If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.

¹⁸If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

¹⁸^[+] If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

¹⁸If I had focused my mind on evil,^[+] the Lord would not have listened to me.

³¹We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.

⁹He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.

²⁹The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

⁸The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

¹⁵When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

³You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

⁸For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life? ⁹Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?

¹³Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

²¹Take heed, don’t regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
