1 I waited patiently for Jehovah, and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and secured my steps.

3 And He has put a new song in my mouth, praise to our God; many shall see it and fear, and shall trust in Jehovah.

4 Blessed is the man who makes Jehovah his trust and has not turned to the proud, nor to such as turn aside to lies.

5 O Jehovah my God, many are the wonderful works which You have done, and Your thoughts which are toward us; they cannot be recounted to You if I were to declare and speak of them, for they are more than can be numbered.

6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; my ears You have opened. Burnt offering and sin offering You have not asked.

7 Then I said, Lo, I come (in the volume of the Book it is written of Me):

8 I delight to do Your will, O My God, and Your Law is within My heart.

9 I have preached righteousness in the great assembly; lo, I have not restrained My lips, O Jehovah, You know.

10 I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not hidden Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly.

11 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Jehovah; let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually keep watch over me.

12 For evils without number have encompassed me; my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head; therefore my heart fails me.

13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me; O Jehovah, make haste to help me!

14 Let them be ashamed and abashed together, those who seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to dishonor, those who wish me evil.
