1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay;
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:
4 Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust,
5 Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done,
6 Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in;
7 Then said I, Lo, I am come;
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God;
9 I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly;
10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah;
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about;
13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me:
14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame
16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:
17 But I am poor and needy;
