Dual Panel1For the music director <05329>; By David <01732>, a psalm <04210>. I relied completely on <06960> <06960> the Lord <03068>, and he turned <05186> toward <0413> me and heard <08085> my cry for help <07775>.
2He lifted <05927> me out <05927> of the watery <07588> pit <0953>, out of the slimy <03121> mud <02916>. He placed <06965> my feet <07272> on <05921> a rock <05553> and gave me secure <03559> footing <0838>.
3He gave <05414> me reason <06310> to sing <05414> a new <02319> song <07892>, praising <08416> our God <0430>. May many <07227> see <07200> what God has done, so that they might swear allegiance <03372> to him and trust <0982> in the Lord <03068>!
4How blessed <0835> is the one <01397> who <0834> trusts <04009> in the Lord <03068> and does not <03808> seek help <06437> from <0413> the proud <07295> or from liars <03577>!
5O Lord <03068>, my God <0430>, you <0859> have accomplished <06213> many <07227> things; you have done amazing things <06381> and carried out your purposes <04284> for <0413> us. No <0369> one can thwart <06186> you! I want to declare <05046> them and talk <01696> about them, but they are too numerous <06105> to recount <05608>!
6Receiving sacrifices <02077> and offerings <04503> are not <03808> your primary concern <02654>. You make <03738> that quite clear <03738> to me! You do not <03808> ask <07592> for burnt sacrifices <05930> and sin offerings <02401>.
7Then <0227> I say <0559>, “Look <02009>! I come <0935>! What is written <03789> in the scroll <05612> <04039> pertains to <05921> me.
8I want <02654> to do <06213> what pleases <07522> you, my God <0430>. Your law <08451> dominates <08432> my thoughts <04578>.”
9I have told <01319> the great <07227> assembly <06951> about your justice <06664>. Look <02009>! I spare <03607> no <03808> words <08193>! O Lord <03068>, you <0859> know <03045> this is true.
10I have not <03808> failed <03680> to tell about <08432> your justice <06666>; I spoke about your reliability <0530> and deliverance <08668>; I have not <03808> neglected <03582> to tell <0559> the great <07227> assembly <06951> about your loyal love <02617> and faithfulness <0571>.
11O Lord <03068>, you <0859> do not <03808> withhold <03607> your compassion <07356> from <04480> me. May your loyal love <02617> and faithfulness <0571> continually <08548> protect <05341> me!
12For <03588> innumerable <04557> dangers <07451> surround <0661> me. My sins <05771> overtake <05381> me so I am unable <03201> <03808> to see <07200>; they outnumber <06105> the hairs <08185> of my head <07218> so my strength <03820> fails <05800> me.
13Please be willing <07521>, O Lord <03068>, to rescue <05337> me! O Lord <03068>, hurry <02363> and help <05833> me!
14May those who are trying to snatch away <01245> my life <05315> be totally <03162> embarrassed <0954> and ashamed <02659>! May those who want <02655> to harm <05595> me be turned <05472> back <0268> and ashamed <03637>!
15May those who say <0559> to me, “Aha <01889>! Aha <01889>!” be humiliated <08074> and disgraced <01322>!
16May all <03605> those who seek <01245> you be happy <07797> and rejoice <08055> in you! May those who love <0157> to experience your deliverance <08668> say <0559> continually <08548>, “May the Lord <03068> be praised <01431>!”
17I <0589> am oppressed <06041> and needy <034>! May the Lord <0136> pay attention <02803> to me! You <0859> are my helper <05833> and my deliverer <06403>! O my God <0430>, do not <0408> delay <0309>!
