I will come to your Temple with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my promises to you,

the promises I made when I was in trouble.
15 Mede mmoa a wɔadɔ srade bɛbɔ afɔre ama wo; adwennini ayɛyɛde; mede anantwinini ne mpapo bɛbɔ afɔre.
I will sacrifice burnt offerings to you of fattened livestock—the smoke of the sacrifice of rams, offerings of bulls and goats. (Selah)

Come and listen, everyone who honors God, and I will tell you all he has done for me.

I called out to him, and praised him with my voice.
18 Sɛ mede bɔne hyɛɛ me koma mu a, anka Awurade antie me.
If my thinking had been sinful, the Lord would not have listened to me.
19 Nanso nokware, Onyankopɔn atie me, wate me mpaebɔ.
But God did hear me! He listened to what I had to say in my prayer!
20 Nhyira nka Onyankopɔn, a wampo me mpaebɔ na wanyi nʼadɔe amfi me so. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔde sanku na ɛto.
Praise God, who did not disregard my prayer or take his trustworthy love from me.
