2 He took me from a fearful pit,and from the miry clay,And on a rock he set my feet,establishing my way.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,our God to magnify:Many shall see it, and shall fear,and on the Lord rely.
4 O blessed is the man whose trustupon the Lord relies;Respecting not the proud, nor suchas turn aside to lies.
5 O Lord my God, full many arethe wonders thou hast done;Thy gracious thoughts to us-ward farabove all thoughts are gone:In order none can reckon themto thee: if them declare,And speak of them I would, they morethan can be number'd are.
6 No sacrifice nor offeringdidst thou at all desire;Mine ears thou bor'd: sin-off 'ring thouand burnt didst not require:
