To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I waitedH6960 patientlyH6960 for the LORDH3068; and he inclinedH5186 unto me, and heardH8085 my cryH7775. {I waited…: Heb. In waiting I waited}
He brought me upH5927 also out of an horribleH7588 pitH953, out of the miryH3121 clayH2916, and setH6965 my feetH7272 upon a rockH5553, and establishedH3559 my goingsH838. {an…: Heb. a pit of noise}
And he hath putH5414 a newH2319 songH7892 in my mouthH6310, even praiseH8416 unto our GodH430: manyH7227 shall seeH7200 it, and fearH3372, and shall trustH982 in the LORDH3068.
BlessedH835 is that manH1397 that makethH7760 the LORDH3068 his trustH4009, and respectethH6437 not the proudH7295, nor such as turn asideH7750 to liesH3577.
ManyH7227, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, are thy wonderfulH6381 works which thou hast doneH6213, and thy thoughtsH4284 which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in orderH6186 unto thee: if I would declareH5046 and speakH1696 of them, they are moreH6105 than can be numberedH5608. {they cannot…: or, none can order them unto thee}
SacrificeH2077 and offeringH4503 thou didst not desireH2654; mine earsH241 hast thou openedH3738: burnt offeringH5930 and sin offeringH2401 hast thou not requiredH7592. {opened: Heb. digged}
Then saidH559 I, Lo, I comeH935: in the volumeH4039 of the bookH5612 it is writtenH3789 of me,
I delightH2654 to doH6213 thy willH7522, O my GodH430: yea, thy lawH8451 is withinH8432 my heartH4578. {within…: Heb. in the midst of my bowels}
I have preachedH1319 righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: lo, I have not refrainedH3607 my lipsH8193, O LORDH3068, thou knowestH3045.
I have not hidH3680 thy righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heartH3820; I have declaredH559 thy faithfulnessH530 and thy salvationH8668: I have not concealedH3582 thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregationH6951.
WithholdH3607 not thou thy tender merciesH7356 from me, O LORDH3068: let thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 continuallyH8548 preserveH5341 me.
For innumerableH4557 evilsH7451 have compassedH661 me about: mine iniquitiesH5771 have taken holdH5381 upon me, so that I am not ableH3201 to look upH7200; they are moreH6105 than the hairsH8185 of mine headH7218: therefore my heartH3820 failethH5800 me. {falleth: Heb. forsaketh}
Be pleasedH7521, O LORDH3068, to deliverH5337 me: O LORDH3068, make hasteH2363 to helpH5833 me.
Let them be ashamedH954 and confoundedH2659 togetherH3162 that seekH1245 after my soulH5315 to destroyH5595 it; let them be drivenH5472 backwardH268 and put to shameH3637 that wishH2655 me evilH7451.
Let them be desolateH8074 for a rewardH6118 of their shameH1322 that sayH559 unto me, AhaH1889, ahaH1889.
Let all those that seekH1245 thee rejoiceH7797 and be gladH8055 in thee: let such as loveH157 thy salvationH8668 sayH559 continuallyH8548, The LORDH3068 be magnifiedH1431.
But I am poorH6041 and needyH34; yet the LordH136 thinkethH2803 upon me: thou art my helpH5833 and my delivererH6403; make no tarryingH309, O my GodH430.
