I waited patiently upon the ; * he stooped to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the desolate pit, out of the mire and clay; * he set my feet upon a high cliff and made my footing sure.

He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; * many shall see, and stand in awe, and put their trust in the.

Happy are they who trust in the ! * they do not resort to evil spirits or turn to false gods.

Great things are they that you have done, O my God! how great your wonders and your plans for us! * there is none who can be compared with you.

Oh, that I could make them known and tell them! * but they are more than I can count.

In sacrifice and offering you take no pleasure * (you have given me ears to hear you);

Burnt&#8209;offering and sin&#8209;offering you have not required, * and so I said, “Behold, I come.

In the roll of the book it is written concerning me: * ‘I love to do your will, O my God; your law is deep in my heart.’”

I proclaimed righteousness in the great congregation; * behold, I did not restrain my lips; and that, O, you know.

Your righteousness have I not hidden in my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your deliverance; * I have not concealed your love and faithfulness from the great congregation.
