Psalm 66:18

Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.

Whoso is turning his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.

And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.

and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;

ye ask, and ye receive not, because evilly ye ask, that in your pleasures ye may spend it.

For what is the hope of the profane, When He doth cut off? When God doth cast off his soul?

Take heed -- do not turn unto iniquity, For on this thou hast fixed Rather than on affliction.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah, And the prayer of the upright is His delight.

Far is Jehovah from the wicked, And the prayer of the righteous He heareth.

Whoso is shutting his ear from the cry of the poor, He also doth cry, and is not answered.
