1 I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. [^1]5 Many, LORD my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire — but my ears you have opened "— burnt offerings and sin offerings "you did not require.7 Then I said, "Here I am, I have come — it is written about me in the scroll. [^4]8 I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart."9 I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, LORD, as you know.10 I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help. I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness from the great assembly.11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, LORD; may your love and faithfulness always protect me.12 For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.13 Be pleased to save me, LORD; come quickly, LORD, to help me.14 May all who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.15 May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" be appalled at their own shame.16 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, "The LORD is great!"17 But as for me, I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; you are my God, do not delay.

1 In finem. Psalmus ipsi David. 2 [Beatus qui intelligit super egenum et pauperem :in die mala liberabit eum Dominus.3 Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum,et beatum faciat eum in terra,et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum ejus.4 Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris ejus ;universum stratum ejus versasti in infirmitate ejus.5 Ego dixi : Domine, miserere mei ;sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi.6 Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi :Quando morietur, et peribit nomen ejus ?7 Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur ;cor ejus congregavit iniquitatem sibi.Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur.8 In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei ;adversum me cogitabant mala mihi.9 Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me :Numquid qui dormit non adjiciet ut resurgat ?10 Etenim homo pacis me in quo speravi,qui edebat panes meos,magnificavit super me supplantationem.11 Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei,et resuscita me ; et retribuam eis.12 In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me,quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me.13 Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti ;et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in ternum.14 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israla sculo et usque in sculum. Fiat, fiat.]
