1 Patiently I waited for Jehovah,
And he bowed down to me, and he heard my cry.
2 And he brought me out of the pit of despair, out of the muddy mud;
He put my feet on a rock, and straightened my steps.
3 Then he put a new song in my mouth, praise to our God.
Many will see this, and they will fear,
And they will trust in Jehovah.
4 Blessed is the man who put his trust in Jehovah,
And he does not look at the proud, nor at those who deviate from the lie.
5 You have increased your wonders, O LORD my God;
And your thoughts to us,
It is not possible to count them before you.
If I announce and talk about them,
They can not be listed.
6 Sacrifice and offering you do not like;
You have opened my ears;
Holocaust and expiation you have not sued.
7 Then said I, Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is written of me;
8 The doing of your will, my God, has pleased me,
And your law is in the middle of my heart.
9 I have announced justice in a great congregation;
Behold, I did not restrain my lips,
Jehovah, you know it.
10 I did not conceal your justice within my heart;
I have published your fidelity and your salvation;
I have not hidden your mercy and your truth in a great assembly.
11 Lord, do not withhold my mercies from me;
Your mercy and your truth always keep me.
12 For evils have surrounded me without number;
My evils have reached me, and I can not look up.
They have grown more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails me.
13Would you, O Jehovah, deliver me;
Lord, hurry to help me.
14 Be ashamed and confused
Those who seek my life to destroy it.
Go back and averg: get over
Those that my evil desire;
15 Be laid waste in payment of your insult
Those who tell me:! Ea, ea!
16 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you,
And let those who love your salvation always say:
Jehovah be exalted.
17 Though afflicted me and needy,
Jehovah will think of me.
My help and my liberator are you;
My God, do not delay.
