¹ I waited patiently for the LORD. ² He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, ³ He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God.
Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. ⁴ Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, ⁵ Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, ⁶ Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire. ⁷ Then I said, “Behold, I have come. ⁸ I delight to do your will, my God. ⁹ I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.
Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know. ¹⁰ I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. ¹¹ Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. ¹² For innumerable evils have surrounded me. ¹³ Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me.
Hurry to help me, LORD. ¹⁴ Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it.
Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt. ¹⁵ Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!” ¹⁶ Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let such as love your salvation say continually, “Let the LORD be exalted!” ¹⁷ But I am poor and needy.
Don’t delay, my God.
