3He hath put into my mouth a new song, A song of praise to our God. Many shall see, and fear, And put their trust in the LORD.
4Happy the man who maketh the LORD his trust, And resorteth not to men of pride and falsehood!
5Many, O LORD, my God! are the wonderful works which thou hast done; Many have been thy gracious purposes towards us; None can be compared to thee! Would I declare and rehearse them, they are more than can be numbered.
6In sacrifice and oblation thou hast no pleasure; Mine ears thou hast opened; Burnt-offering and sin-offering thou requirest not.
7Therefore I said, “Lo, I come; In the scroll of the book it is prescribed to me;
8O my God! to do thy will is my delight, And thy law dwelleth in my heart!”
9I have proclaimed thy righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I have not restrained my lips, O LORD! thou knowest!
10I hide not thy justice in my heart; I declare thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I conceal not thy mercy and truth from the great assembly.
11Withdraw not from me thy tender mercies, O LORD! May thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me!
12For evils without number have encompassed me; My iniquities have overtaken me; I cannot see the end of them; They are more than the hairs of my head, And my heart dieth within me.
13May it please thee, O LORD! to deliver me! O LORD! make haste to mine aid!
