I waited patiently for the Lord.
He inclined to me and heard my cry.
He brought me up from the dreaded pit, out of the miry clay.
He set my feet upon a rock, making my footsteps firm.
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.
A song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear, and they will trust in the Lord.
Blessed the man whose trust is the Lord, who turns not to lies or to the proud.
Many the wonders you have done, Lord my God, your thoughts toward us,
none could compare, if I should tell, they're far beyond numbering.
Far beyond numbering.
You've not willed gifts and sacrifice, you have dug for me my ears.
Burning and sinned offerings, you have not required.
Then I said, behold, I come, as it is written in the book.
I need light in your will, my God, your law is in my heart.
Your law is in my heart.
I have told the good news of righteousness to the great congregation.
Lord, you know I've not held back my lips or hidden it in my heart.
I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation.
I have not concealed your love and truth from them.
You, O Lord, will not withhold your compassion from me.
Your love and kindness and your truth will always preserve me.
Surrounded by evil and my sins, so that I cannot see.
Outnumbering the hairs upon my head, my heart has failed me.
My heart has failed me.
Let all who seek you rejoice, and may they be glad in you.
Let all who love your salvation say, the Lord be magnified.
Though I am poor and in need, the Lord is mindful of me.
You're my salvation and my help.
Do not delay, O my God.
Do not delay, my God.
I have told the good news of righteousness to the great congregation.
Lord, you know I've not held back my lips or hidden it in my heart.
I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation.
I have not concealed your love and truth from them.
