1 I waited patiently for the Lord.
2 He pulled me out of a horrible pit,
3 He placed a new song in my mouth,
4 Blessed is the person
5 You have done many miraculous things, O Lord my God.
6 You were not pleased with sacrifices and offerings.
7 Then I said, “I have come!
8 I am happy to do your will, O my God.”
9 I will announce the good news of righteousness
10 I have not buried your righteousness deep in my heart.
11 Do not withhold your compassion from me, O Lord.
12 Countless evils have surrounded me.
13 O Lord, please rescue me!
14 Let all those who seek to end my life
15 Let those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
16 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad because of you.
17 But I am oppressed and needy.
