1 To the chief Musician * h5329 h8764, A Psalm * h4210 of David * h1732. I waited * h6960 h8765 patiently * h6960 h8763 for the LORD * h3068; and he inclined * h5186 h8799 unto me, and heard * h8085 h8799 my cry * h7775. I waited...: Heb. In waiting I waited
2 He brought me up * h5927 h8686 also out of an horrible * h7588 pit * h953, out of the miry * h3121 clay * h2916, and set * h6965 h8686 my feet * h7272 upon a rock * h5553, and established * h3559 h8790 my goings * h838. an...: Heb. a pit of noise
3 And he hath put * h5414 h8799 a new * h2319 song * h7892 in my mouth * h6310, even praise * h8416 unto our God * h430: many * h7227 shall see * h7200 h8799 it , and fear * h3372 h8799, and shall trust * h982 h8799 in the LORD * h3068.
4 Blessed * h835 is that man * h1397 that maketh * h7760 h8804 the LORD * h3068 his trust * h4009, and respecteth * h6437 h8804 not the proud * h7295, nor such as turn aside * h7750 h8802 to lies * h3577.
5 Many * h7227, O LORD * h3068 my God * h430, are thy wonderful * h6381 h8737 works which thou hast done * h6213 h8804, and thy thoughts * h4284 which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order * h6186 h8800 unto thee: if I would declare * h5046 h8686 and speak * h1696 h8762 of them , they are more * h6105 h8804 than can be numbered * h5608 h8763. they cannot...: or, none can order them unto thee
6 Sacrifice * h2077 and offering * h4503 thou didst not desire * h2654 h8804; mine ears * h241 hast thou opened * h3738 h8804: burnt offering * h5930 and sin offering * h2401 hast thou not required * h7592 h8804. opened: Heb. digged
7 Then said * h559 h8804 I, lo, I come * h935 h8804: in the volume * h4039 of the book * h5612 it is written * h3789 h8803 of me,
8 I delight * h2654 h8804 to do * h6213 h8800 thy will * h7522, O my God * h430: yea, thy law * h8451 is within * h8432 my heart * h4578. within...: Heb. in the midst of my bowels
9 I have preached * h1319 h8765 righteousness * h6664 in the great * h7227 congregation * h6951: lo, I have not refrained * h3607 h8799 my lips * h8193, O LORD * h3068, thou knowest * h3045 h8804.
10 I have not hid * h3680 h8765 thy righteousness * h6666 within * h8432 my heart * h3820; I have declared * h559 h8804 thy faithfulness * h530 and thy salvation * h8668: I have not concealed * h3582 h8765 thy lovingkindness * h2617 and thy truth * h571 from the great * h7227 congregation * h6951.
11 Withhold * h3607 h8799 not thou thy tender mercies * h7356 from me, O LORD * h3068: let thy lovingkindness * h2617 and thy truth * h571 continually * h8548 preserve * h5341 h8799 me.
12 For innumerable * h4557 evils * h7451 have compassed * h661 h8804 me about: mine iniquities * h5771 have taken hold * h5381 h8689 upon me, so that I am not able * h3201 h8804 to look up * h7200 h8800; they are more * h6105 h8804 than the hairs * h8185 of mine head * h7218: therefore my heart * h3820 faileth * h5800 h8804 me. falleth: Heb. forsaketh
13 Be pleased * h7521 h8798, O LORD * h3068, to deliver * h5337 h8687 me: O LORD * h3068, make haste * h2363 h8798 to help * h5833 me.
14 Let them be ashamed * h954 h8799 and confounded * h2659 h8799 together * h3162 that seek * h1245 h8764 after my soul * h5315 to destroy * h5595 h8800 it; let them be driven * h5472 h8735 backward * h268 and put to shame * h3637 h8735 that wish * h2655 me evil * h7451.
15 Let them be desolate * h8074 h8799 for a reward * h6118 of their shame * h1322 that say * h559 h8802 unto me, Aha * h1889, aha * h1889.
16 Let all those that seek * h1245 h8764 thee rejoice * h7797 h8799 and be glad * h8055 h8799 in thee: let such as love * h157 h8802 thy salvation * h8668 say * h559 h8799 continually * h8548, The LORD * h3068 be magnified * h1431 h8799.
17 But I am poor * h6041 and needy * h34; yet the Lord * h136 thinketh * h2803 h8799 upon me: thou art my help * h5833 and my deliverer * h6403 h8764; make no tarrying * h309 h8762, O my God * h430.
