1 H5329 To the chief H5329 Musician, H4210 A Psalm H1732 of David. H6960 I waited H6960 patiently H3068 for the LORD; H5186 and he inclined H8085 to me, and heard H7775 my cry.

2 H5927 He brought H7588 me up also out of an horrible H953 pit, H3121 out of the miry H2916 clay, H6965 and set H7272 my feet H5553 on a rock, H3559 and established H838 my goings.

3 H5414 And he has put H2319 a new H7892 song H6310 in my mouth, H8416 even praise H430 to our God: H7227 many H7200 shall see H3372 it, and fear, H982 and shall trust H3068 in the LORD.

4 H835 Blessed H1397 is that man H7760 that makes H3068 the LORD H4009 his trust, H6437 and respects H7295 not the proud, H3808 nor H7750 such as turn H7847 aside H3576 to lies.

5 H7227 Many, H3068 O LORD H430 my God, H6381 are your wonderful H6213 works which you have done, H4284 and your thoughts H413 which are to us-ward: H408 they cannot H6186 be reckoned up in order H5046 to you: if I would declare H1696 and speak H6105 of them, they are more H5608 than can be numbered.

6 H2077 Sacrifice H4503 and offering H2654 you did not desire; H241 my ears H3738 have you opened: H5930 burnt H2401 offering and sin H7592 offering have you not required.

7 H227 Then H559 said H2009 I, See, H935 I come: H4039 in the volume H5612 of the book H3789 it is written of me,

8 H2654 I delight H6213 to do H7522 your will, H430 O my God: H8451 yes, your law H8432 is within H4578 my heart.

9 H1319 I have preached H6664 righteousness H7227 in the great H6951 congregation: H2009 see, H3607 I have not refrained H8193 my lips, H3068 O LORD, H3045 you know.

10 H3680 I have not hid H6666 your righteousness H8432 within H3820 my heart; H559 I have declared H530 your faithfulness H8668 and your salvation: H3582 I have not concealed H2617 your loving kindness H571 and your truth H7227 from the great H6951 congregation.

11 H3607 Withhold H7356 not you your tender mercies H3068 from me, O LORD: H2617 let your loving kindness H571 and your truth H8548 continually H5341 preserve me.

12 H369 For innumerable H4557 H7451 evils H661 have compassed H5771 me about: my iniquities H5381 have taken H5381 hold H3201 on me, so that I am not able H7200 to look H6105 up; they are more H8185 than the hairs H7218 of my head: H3820 therefore my heart H5800 fails me.

13 H7521 Be pleased, H3068 O LORD, H5337 to deliver H3068 me: O LORD, H2363 make haste H5833 to help me.

14 H954 Let them be ashamed H2659 and confounded H3162 together H1245 that seek H5315 after my soul H5595 to destroy H5472 it; let them be driven H268 backward H3637 and put to shame H2655 that wish H7451 me evil.

15 H8074 Let them be desolate H6118 for a reward H1322 of their shame H559 that say H253 to me, Aha, H253 aha.

16 H3605 Let all H1245 those that seek H7797 you rejoice H157 and be glad in you: let such as love H8668 your salvation H559 say H8548 continually, H3068 The LORD H1431 be magnified.

17 H6041 But I am poor H34 and needy; H136 yet the Lord H2803 thinks H5833 on me: you are my help H6403 and my deliverer; H408 make no H309 tarrying, H430 O my God.
