 ¹I waited patiently for Yahvah; and he turned towards me and heard my supplication.
²He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the mire of destruction, and set my feet on a rock and established my path.
³And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our god, that many will see it and rejoice and trust in Yahvah.

⁴Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of Yahvah, and who does not return to vanity; nor to lying conversation.
⁵Many are your works which you have done for us, Yahvah our god, and your wonderful care for us; I have declared that they are too many to be numbered; there is no one like you.

⁶Sacrifices and offerings you did not desire; but as for me, I now have understanding; burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.
⁷Then I said, Look, I come; in the beginning of the books, it is written of me,
⁸I delight to do your will, my god; (54:10:5) yes, your law is inside my heart.

⁹I have preached your righteousness in the great congregation; look, I have not refrained my lips, Yahvah, you know.
¹⁰I have not hidden your righteousness inside my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your lovingkindness and your truth from the great congregation.

¹¹Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahvah; let your lovingkindness 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; and my heart fails me.

¹³Be pleased, Yahvah, to deliver me; Yahvah, continue to help me.
¹⁴Let those who seek after my soul to destroy it, be ashamed and confounded; let them be driven backward and put to shame who wish me evil.
¹⁵Let them be overthrown for their disgraceful conduct, who say to me, Aha, aha!

¹⁶Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let such, as love your salvation, say continually, Yahvah be magnified.
¹⁷But I am poor and needy; my master, they have conspired against me; help me and deliver me; do not tarry, my god.
