1
|
I waited patiently for the LORD's help; then he listened to me and heard my cry. |
2
|
He pulled me out of a dangerous pit, out of the deadly quicksand. He set me safely on a rock and made me secure. |
3
|
He taught me to sing a new song, a song of praise to our God. Many who see this will take warning and will put their trust in the LORD. |
4
|
Happy are those who trust the LORD, who do not turn to idols or join those who worship false gods. |
5
|
You have done many things for us, O LORD our God; there is no one like you! You have made many wonderful plans for us. I could never speak of them all--- their number is so great! |
6
|
You do not want sacrifices and offerings; you do not ask for animals burned whole on the altar or for sacrifices to take away sins. Instead, you have given me ears to hear you, |
7
|
and so I answered, "Here I am; your instructions for me are in the book of the Law. |
8
|
How I love to do your will, my God! I keep your teaching in my heart." |
9
|
In the assembly of all your people, LORD, I told the good news that you save us. You know that I will never stop telling it. |
10
|
I have not kept the news of salvation to myself; I have always spoken of your faithfulness and help. In the assembly of all your people I have not been silent about your loyalty and constant love. |
11
|
LORD, I know you will never stop being merciful to me. Your love and loyalty will always keep me safe. |
12
|
I am surrounded by many troubles--- too many to count! My sins have caught up with me, and I can no longer see; they are more than the hairs of my head, and I have lost my courage. |
13
|
Save me, LORD! Help me now! |
14
|
May those who try to kill me be completely defeated and confused. May those who are happy because of my troubles be turned back and disgraced. |
15
|
May those who make fun of me be dismayed by their defeat. |
16
|
May all who come to you be glad and joyful. May all who are thankful for your salvation always say, "How great is the LORD!" |
17
|
I am weak and poor, O Lord, but you have not forgotten me. You are my savior and my God--- hurry to my aid! |
