Psalm 66:18

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

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

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

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

When you spread forth 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.

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

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