I awaited 1patiently
for the LORD
; And He inclined
to me and bheard
my cry
.
He brought me up out of the apit
of destruction
, out of the 1miry
clay
, And bHe set
my feet
upon a rock
cmaking
my footsteps
firm
.
He put a anew
song
in my mouth
, a song
of praise
to our God
; Many
will bsee
and fear
And will trust
in the LORD
.
How ablessed is the man
who
has made
the LORD
his trust
, And bhas not 1turned
to the proud
, nor to those who clapse
into falsehood
.
Many, O LORD
my God
, are athe wonders
which You have done
, And Your bthoughts
toward
us; There
is none
to compare
with You. If I would declare
and speak
of them, They cwould be too
numerous
to count
.
1 aSacrifice and meal
offering
You have not desired
; My ears
You have 2opened
; Burnt
offering
and sin
offering
You have not required
.
Then I said
, "Behold
, I come
; In the scroll
of the book
it is 1written
of me.
aI delight to do
Your will
, O my God
; bYour Law
is within
my heart
."
I have aproclaimed glad
tidings
of righteousness
in the great
congregation
; Behold
, I will bnot restrain
my lips
, O LORD
, cYou know
.
I have anot hidden Your righteousness
within
my heart
; I have bspoken
of Your faithfulness
and Your salvation
; I have not concealed
Your lovingkindness
and Your truth
from the great
congregation
.
You, O LORD, will not withhold
Your compassion
from me; 1Your alovingkindness
and Your truth
will continually
preserve
me.
For evils beyond
number
have asurrounded
me; My biniquities
have overtaken
me, so that I am not able
to see
; They are cmore
numerous
than
the hairs
of my head
, And my dheart
has 1failed
me.
aBe pleased, O LORD
, to deliver
me; Make
bhaste
, O LORD
, to help
me.
Let those be aashamed and humiliated
together
Who bseek
my 1life
to destroy
it; Let those be turned
back
and dishonored
Who
delight
2in my hurt
.
Let those abe 1appalled because
of their shame
Who bsay
to me, "Aha
, aha
!"
aLet all who seek
You rejoice
and be glad
in You; Let those who love
Your salvation
bsay
continually
, "The LORD
be magnified
!"
Since aI am afflicted and needy
, 1 bLet the Lord
be mindful
of me. You are my help
and my deliverer
; Do not delay
, O my God
.
