11 CPDV You have led us into a snare. You have placed tribulations on our back. BSB BSB: You led us into the net; You laid burdens on our backs.

13 CPDV I will enter your house with holocausts. I will repay my vows to you, BSB BSB: I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—
14 CPDV which my lips discerned and my mouth spoke, in my tribulation. BSB BSB: the vows that my lips promised and my mouth spoke in my distress.
15 CPDV I will offer to you holocausts full of marrow, with the burnt offerings of rams. I will offer to you bulls as well as goats. BSB BSB: I will offer You fatlings as burnt offerings, with the fragrant smoke of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Selah
