I ^(A)waited ^(a)patiently for the Lord;

He brought me up out of the ^(C)pit of destruction, out of the ^(b)miry clay,
And ^(D)He set my feet upon a rock ^(E)making my footsteps firm.

He put a ^(F)new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;
Many will ^(G)see and fear
And will trust in the Lord.
