- 1When I was waiting quietly for the Lord, his heart was turned to me, and he gave ear to my cry.
- 2He took me up out of a deep waste place, out of the soft and sticky earth; he put my feet on a rock, and made my steps certain.
- 3And he put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God; numbers have seen it with fear, and put their faith in the Lord.
- 4Happy is the man who has faith in the Lord, and does not give honour to the men of pride or to those who are turned away to deceit.

- 5O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.

- 10Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.
- 11Take not away your gentle mercies from me, O Lord; let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever.
- 12For unnumbered evils are round about me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I am bent down with their weight; they are more than the hairs of my head, my strength is gone because of them.
