1 I waited patiently for the Lord;he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,out of the mud and mire;he set my feet on a rockand gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,a hymn of praise to our God.Many will see and fear the Lordand put their trust in him.
4 Blessed is the onewho trusts in the Lord,who does not look to the proud,to those who turn aside to false gods.
5 Many, Lord my God,are the wonders you have done,the things you planned for us.None can compare with you;were I to speak and tell of your deeds,they would be too many to declare.
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire –but my ears you have opened; –burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am, I have come –it is written about me in the scroll.
