1 I waited patiently for the Lord;he inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He drew me up from the pit of destruction,out of the miry bog,and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,a song of praise to our God.Many will see and fear,and put their trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is the man who makesthe Lord his trust,who does not turn to the proud,to those who go astray after a lie!
5 You have multiplied, O Lord my God,your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;none can compare with you!I will proclaim and tell of them,yet they are more than can be told.
6 In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,but you have given me an open ear.Burnt offering and sin offeringyou have not required.
