1I waited patiently for the Lord ;[#Ps 27.14; 34.15]
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
2He drew me up from the desolate pit,[#Ps 27.5; 69.2; #40.2 Cn: Heb pit of tumult]
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
3He put a new song in my mouth,[#Ps 33.3]
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the Lord .
4Happy are those who make[#Ps 84.12]
the Lord their trust,
who do not turn to the proud,
to those who go astray after false gods.
5You have multiplied, O Lord my God,[#Ps 136.4; 139.18; Isa 55.8]
your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
none can compare with you.
Were I to proclaim and tell of them,
they would be more than can be counted.
6Sacrifice and offering you do not desire,[#1 Sam 15.22]
but you have given me an open ear.
Burnt offering and sin offering
you have not required.
7Then I said, “Here I am;
in the scroll of the book it is written of me.
8I delight to do your will, O my God;[#Ps 37.31; Jn 4.34; Rom 7.22]
your law is within my heart.”
9I have told the glad news of deliverance[#Ps 22.22; 119.13]
in the great congregation;
see, I have not restrained my lips,
as you know, O Lord .
10I have not hidden your saving help within my heart;[#Ps 89.1; Acts 20.20]
I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;
I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness
from the great congregation.
11Do not, O Lord , withhold[#Ps 43.3]
your mercy from me;
let your steadfast love and your faithfulness
keep me safe forever.
12For evils have encompassed me[#Ps 38.4; 69.4; 73.26; 116.3]
without number;
my iniquities have overtaken me
until I cannot see;
they are more than the hairs of my head,
and my heart fails me.
13Be pleased, O Lord , to deliver me;[#Ps 70.1]
O Lord , make haste to help me.
14Let all those be put to shame and confusion[#Ps 35.4; 63.9]
who seek to snatch away my life;
let those be turned back and brought to dishonor
who desire my hurt.
15Let those be appalled because of their shame[#Ps 70.3]
who say to me, “Aha, Aha!”
16But may all who seek you[#Ps 35.27; 70.4]
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation
say continually, “Great is the Lord !”
17As for me, I am poor and needy,[#Ps 70.5]
but the Lord takes thought for me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
do not delay, O my God.
