6  ^aI call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;

incline your ear to me; hear my words.

9  Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;

you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’

If you take away the yoke from your midst,

the ^tpointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,

24  ^uBefore they call I will answer;

^vwhile they are yet speaking I will hear.

9  And I will put this third into the fire,

and refine them ^bas one refines silver,

and test them as gold is tested.

They will call upon my name,

^cand I will answer them.

^dI will say, ‘They are my people’;

and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
