MLV(i)
1 I waited patiently for Jehovah and he inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the muddy clay and he set my feet upon a rock and established my steps.
3 And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many will see it and fear and will trust in Jehovah.
4 The man is fortunate who makes Jehovah his trust and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which you have done and your thoughts which are toward us. They cannot be set in order to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you have prepared for me. Whole burnt offering and sacrifice for sin you did not require. 7 Then I said, Behold, I have come as it is written of me in the scroll of a book.
8 I delight to do your will, O my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.
9 I have proclaimed good news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not refrain my lips. O Jehovah, you know. 10 I have not hid your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.
11 Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, O Jehovah. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me, 12 because innumerable evils have encompassed me around. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head and my heart has failed me. 13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me. Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.
14 Let them be put to shame and humiliated together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt. 15 Let them be desolate because of their shame who say to me, Aha, aha.
16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, Jehovah is great.
17 But I am poor and needy, yet the Lord thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer. Make no delay, O my God.
