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