1 To the overseer: of David chanting. Waiting, I waited for Jehovah, and he will incline to me, and he will hear my cry.
2 And he will bring me up from the pit of destruction, from the clay of mire, and he will set my feet upon a rock, preparing my goings.
3 And he will give a new song in my mouth, praise to our God: many shall see and fear, and they shall trust in Jehovah.
4 Happy the man who set Jehovah his trust, and turned not to the arrogant, and those turning aside to falsehood.
5 Many the wonders thou didst, O Jehovah my God, and thy purposes to us: none shall set in order to thee: I will announce and speak, they were numerous above number.
6 Sacrifice and a gift thou didst not delight in; the ears thou didst pierce to me: burnt-offering and sin thou didst not ask.
7 Then I said, Behold, I came: in the volume of the book it was written concerning me.
8 To do thine acceptance, O my God, I delighted; and thy law in the midst of my bowels.
9 I announced good news, justice in the great convocation: behold, my lips I will not shut up, O Jehovah, thou knewest
10 I hid not thy justice within my heart; I said thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I hid not thy mercy and thy truth to the great convocation.
11 Thou wilt not, O Jehovah, shut up thy compassions from me: thy mercy and thy truth shall always guard me.
12 For evils even not being numbered encompassed about me: mine inquities overtook me, and I was not able to see; they were numerous above the hairs of my head, and my heart forsook me.
13 Be gracious, O Jehovah, to deliver me: hasten, O Jehovah, to help me.
