2He brought me up <05927> (8686) also out of an horrible <07588> pit <0953>_, out of the miry <03121> clay <02916>_, and set <06965> (8686) my feet <07272> upon a rock <05553>_, [and] established <03559> (8790) my goings <0838>_. {an...: Heb. a pit of noise}
3And he hath put <05414> (8799) a new <02319> song <07892> in my mouth <06310>_, [even] praise <08416> unto our God <0430>_: many <07227> shall see <07200> (8799) [it], and fear <03372> (8799)_, and shall trust <0982> (8799) in the LORD <03068>_.
4Blessed <0835> [is] that man <01397> that maketh <07760> (8804) the LORD <03068> his trust <04009>_, and respecteth <06437> (8804) not the proud <07295>_, nor such as turn aside <07750> (8802) to lies <03577>_.
5Many <07227>_, O LORD <03068> my God <0430>_, [are] thy wonderful <06381> (8737) works [which] thou hast done <06213> (8804)_, and thy thoughts <04284> [which are] to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order <06186> (8800) unto thee: [if] I would declare <05046> (8686) and speak <01696> (8762) [of them], they are more <06105> (8804) than can be numbered <05608> (8763)_. {they cannot...: or, none can order them unto thee}
6Sacrifice <02077> and offering <04503> thou didst not desire <02654> (8804)_; mine ears <0241> hast thou opened <03738> (8804)_: burnt offering <05930> and sin offering <02401> hast thou not required <07592> (8804)_. {opened: Heb. digged}
7Then said <0559> (8804) I, Lo, I come <0935> (8804)_: in the volume <04039> of the book <05612> [it is] written <03789> (8803) of me,
8I delight <02654> (8804) to do <06213> (8800) thy will <07522>_, O my God <0430>_: yea, thy law <08451> [is] within <08432> my heart <04578>_. {within...: Heb. in the midst of my bowels}
9I have preached <01319> (8765) righteousness <06664> in the great <07227> congregation <06951>_: lo, I have not refrained <03607> (8799) my lips <08193>_, O LORD <03068>_, thou knowest <03045> (8804)_.
10I have not hid <03680> (8765) thy righteousness <06666> within <08432> my heart <03820>_; I have declared <0559> (8804) thy faithfulness <0530> and thy salvation <08668>_: I have not concealed <03582> (8765) thy lovingkindness <02617> and thy truth <0571> from the great <07227> congregation <06951>_.
11Withhold <03607> (8799) not thou thy tender mercies <07356> from me, O LORD <03068>_: let thy lovingkindness <02617> and thy truth <0571> continually <08548> preserve <05341> (8799) me.
12For innumerable <04557> evils <07451> have compassed <0661> (8804) me about: mine iniquities <05771> have taken hold <05381> (8689) upon me, so that I am not able <03201> (8804) to look up <07200> (8800)_; they are more <06105> (8804) than the hairs <08185> of mine head <07218>_: therefore my heart <03820> faileth <05800> (8804) me. {falleth: Heb. forsaketh}
13Be pleased <07521> (8798)_, O LORD <03068>_, to deliver <05337> (8687) me: O LORD <03068>_, make haste <02363> (8798) to help <05833> me.
14Let them be ashamed <0954> (8799) and confounded <02659> (8799) together <03162> that seek <01245> (8764) after my soul <05315> to destroy <05595> (8800) it; let them be driven <05472> (8735) backward <0268> and put to shame <03637> (8735) that wish <02655> me evil <07451>_.
15Let them be desolate <08074> (8799) for a reward <06118> of their shame <01322> that say <0559> (8802) unto me, Aha <01889>_, aha <01889>_.
16Let all those that seek <01245> (8764) thee rejoice <07797> (8799) and be glad <08055> (8799) in thee: let such as love <0157> (8802) thy salvation <08668> say <0559> (8799) continually <08548>_, The LORD <03068> be magnified <01431> (8799)_.
17But I [am] poor <06041> and needy <034>_; [yet] the Lord <0136> thinketh <02803> (8799) upon me: thou [art] my help <05833> and my deliverer <06403> (8764)_; make no tarrying <0309> (8762)_, O my God <0430>_.
