“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:”
The conditional statement that if the psalmist had cherished iniquity in the heart, God would not have listened articulates the requirement that worship must be accompanied by moral integrity. The reference to iniquity in the heart indicates that hidden wickedness disqualifies one from expecting a hearing. This verse establishes the connection between ethical living and effective prayer.
