| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3He 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Many, 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Sacrifice and offering you did not desire-- but my ears you have opened -- burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Then I said, "Here I am, I have come-- it is written about me in the scroll. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart." |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, LORD, as you know. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10I 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Do not withhold your mercy from me, LORD; may your love and faithfulness always protect me. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12For 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Be pleased to save me, LORD; come quickly, LORD, to help me. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14May 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" be appalled at their own shame. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16But 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17But 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. |
