1 I waited patiently for LORD, and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in LORD.
4 Blessed is the man who makes LORD his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonderful works which thou have done, and thy thoughts which are toward us. They cannot be set in order to thee. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, {but a body thou have prepared for me (LXX/NT)}. Whole burnt-offering and sacrifice for sin thou did not require.
7 Then I said, Lo, I have come. In the volume of a book it is written of me.
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God. Yea, thy law is within my heart.
9 I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly. Lo, I will not refrain my lips. O LORD, thou know.
10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart. I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy loving kindness and thy truth from the great assembly.
11 Withhold thou not thy tender mercies from me, O LORD. Let thy loving kindness and thy truth continually preserve me,
12 for innumerable evils have encompassed me around. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed me.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me. Make haste to help me, O LORD.
