1 I waited patiently for the Lord; ♦︎
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He brought me out of the roaring pit,
out of the mire and clay; ♦︎
he set my feet upon a rock and made my footing sure.
3 He has put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God; ♦︎
many shall see and fear
and put their trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, ♦︎
who does not turn to the proud that follow a lie.
7 Sacrifice and offering you do not desire ♦︎
but my ears you have opened;
8 Burnt offering and sacrifice for sin you have not required; ♦︎
then said I: Lo, I come.
9 In the scroll of the book it is written of me
that I should do your will, O my God; ♦︎
I delight to do it: your law is within my heart.
10 I have declared your righteousness in the great congregation; ♦︎
behold, I did not restrain my lips,
and that, O Lord, you know.
