Verse 1

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. I waited{H6960} patiently{H6960} for Jehovah;{H3068} And he inclined{H5186} unto me, and heard{H8085} my cry.{H7775}

Verse 2

He brought me up{H5927} also out of a horrible{H7588} pit,{H953} out of the miry{H3121} clay;{H2916} And he set{H6965} my feet{H7272} upon a rock,{H5553} and established{H3559} my goings.{H838}

Verse 3

And he hath put{H5414} a new{H2319} song{H7892} in my mouth,{H6310} even praise{H8416} unto our God:{H430} Many{H7227} shall see{H7200} it, and fear,{H3372} And shall trust{H982} in Jehovah.{H3068}

Verse 4

Blessed{H835} is the man{H1397} that maketh{H7760} Jehovah{H3068} his trust,{H4009} And respecteth{H6437} not the proud,{H7295} nor such as turn aside{H7750} to lies.{H3577}

Verse 5

Many,{H7227} O Jehovah{H3068} my God,{H430} are the wonderful{H6381} works which thou hast done,{H6213} And thy thoughts{H4284} which are to us-ward; They cannot be set in order{H6186} unto thee; If I would declare{H5046} and speak{H1696} of them, They are more{H6105} than can be numbered.{H5608}

Verse 6

Sacrifice{H2077} and offering{H4503} thou hast no delight{H2654} in; Mine ears{H241} hast thou opened:{H3738} Burnt-offering{H5930} and sin-offering{H5930} hast thou not required.{H7592}

Verse 7

Then said{H559} I, Lo, I am come;{H935} In the roll{H4039} of the book{H5612} it is written{H3789} of me:

Verse 8

I delight{H2654} to do{H6213} thy will,{H7522} O my God;{H430} Yea, thy law{H8451} is within{H8432} my heart.{H4578}

Verse 9

I have proclaimed{H1319} glad tidings of righteousness{H6664} in the great{H7227} assembly;{H6951} Lo, I will not refrain{H3607} my lips,{H8193} O Jehovah,{H3068} thou knowest.{H3045}

Verse 10

I have not hid{H3680} thy righteousness{H6666} within{H8432} my heart;{H3820} I have declared{H559} thy faithfulness{H530} and thy salvation;{H8668} I have not concealed{H3582} thy lovingkindness{H2617} and thy truth{H571} from the great{H7227} assembly.{H6951}

Verse 11

Withhold{H3607} not thou thy tender mercies{H7356} from me, O Jehovah;{H3068} Let thy lovingkindness{H2617} and thy truth{H571} continually{H8548} preserve{H5341} me.

Verse 12

For innumerable{H4557} evils{H7451} have compassed{H661} me about; Mine iniquities{H5771} have overtaken{H5381} me, so that I am not able{H3201} to look up;{H7200} They are more{H6105} than the hairs{H8185} of my head;{H7218} And my heart{H3820} hath failed{H5800} me.

Verse 13

Be pleased,{H7521} O Jehovah,{H3068} to deliver{H5337} me: Make haste{H2363} to help{H5833} me, O Jehovah.{H3068}

Verse 14

Let them be put to shame{H954} and confounded{H954} together{H3162} That seek{H1245} after my soul{H5315} to destroy{H5595} it: Let them be turned{H5472} backward{H268} and brought to dishonor{H3637} That delight{H2655} in my hurt.{H7451}

Verse 15

Let them be desolate{H8074} by reason{H6118} of their shame{H1322} That say{H559} unto me, Aha,{H1889} aha.{H1889}

Verse 16

Let all those that seek{H1245} thee rejoice{H7797} and be glad{H8055} in thee: Let such as love{H157} thy salvation{H8668} say{H559} continually,{H8548} Jehovah{H3068} be magnified.{H1431}

Verse 17

But I am poor{H6041} and needy;{H34} [Yet] the Lord{H136} thinketh{H2803} upon me: Thou art my help{H5833} and my deliverer;{H6403} Make no tarrying,{H309} O my God.{H430}
