He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

But thou art he that took me out of the womb; Thou didst make me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.

For I have heard the defaming of many, Terror on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life.

All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him?

For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.

We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.

By thee have I been holden up from the womb; Thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: My praise shall be continually of thee.

Thou preparedst room before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.

And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:

Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; Neither do I exercise myself in great matters, Or in things too wonderful for me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it.
