401I waited patiently for Yahweh.He turned to me, and heard my cry.+2He brought me up also out of a horrible pit,out of the miry clay.He set my feet on a rock,and gave me a firm place to stand.+3He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God.Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.+4Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust,and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.+5Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done,and your thoughts which are toward us.They can’t be declared back to you.If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.+6Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire.You have opened my ears.You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.+7Then I said, “Behold, I have come.It is written about me in the book in the scroll.+8I delight to do your will, my God.Yes, your law is within my heart.”+9I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.+10I have not hidden 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.+11Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh.Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.+12For innumerable evils have surrounded me.My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up.They are more than the hairs of my head.My heart has failed me.+13Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me.Hurry to help me, Yahweh.+14Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it.Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.+15Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”+16Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.Let such as love your salvation say continually, “Let Yahweh be exalted!”+17But I am poor and needy.May the Lord think about me.You are my help and my deliverer.Don’t delay, my God.+
