3He has put a new song in my mouth, even tehilah ·praise song· to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Adonai .
4Blessed is the man who makes Adonai his trust, and does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5Many, Adonai , my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.
6Sacrifices and offerings you don’t want; burnt offerings and sin offerings you have not required. Instead, you have opened my ears.
7So then I said, “Behold, I have come! In the scroll of a book it is written about me.
8I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your Torah ·Teaching· is within my heart.”
9I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, Adonai , you know.
10I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your cheshed ·loving-kindness· and your truth from the great assembly.
11Don’t withhold your tender racham ·merciful love· from me, Adonai . Let your cheshed ·loving-kindness· and your truth continually preserve me.
12For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.
13Be pleased, Adonai , to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Adonai .
14Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
