| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the choir director. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me and heard my cry. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. |
| 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 will trust in the LORD. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4How blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have opened; Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Then I said, "Behold, I 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 proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great congregation; Behold, I will not restrain my lips, O LORD, You know. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great congregation. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11You, O LORD, will not withhold Your compassion from me; Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12For evils beyond number have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see; They are more numerous than the hairs of my head, And my heart has failed me. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; Make haste, O LORD, to help me. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Let those be ashamed and humiliated together Who seek my life to destroy it; Let those be turned back and dishonored 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] | 16Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your salvation say continually, "The LORD be magnified!" |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Since I am afflicted and needy, Let the Lord be mindful of me. You are my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God. |
