2 and pulled mefrom a lonely pitfull of mud and mire.You let me stand on a rockwith my feet firm,
3 and you gave me a new song,a song of praise to you.Many will see this,and they will honour and trustyou, the Lord God.
4 You bless all of thosewho trust you, Lord,and refuse to worship idolsor follow false gods.
5 You, Lord God, have donemany wonderful things,and you have plannedmarvellous things for us.No one is like you!I would never be able to tellall you have done.
6 Sacrifices and offeringsare not what please you;gifts and payment for sinare not what you demand.But you made me willingto listen and obey.
7 And so, I said, “I am hereto do what is writtenabout me in the book,where it says,
8 ‘I enjoy pleasing you.Your Law is in my heart.’ ”
