| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie! |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5You have multiplied, O LORD my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Then I said, “Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me: |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.” |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O LORD. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11As for you, O LORD, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me! |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12For evils have encompassed me beyond number; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head; my heart fails me. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help me! |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether who seek to snatch away my life; let those be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt! |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Let those be appalled because of their shame who say to me, “Aha, Aha!” |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, “Great is the LORD!” |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God! |
