| 1. | {For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.} I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry. | To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm. | I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. | ||
| 2. | He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand. | When I was waiting quietly for the Lord, his heart was turned to me, and he gave ear to my cry. | He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. | ||
| 3. | He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh. | He 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. | And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. | ||
| 4. | Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. | And 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. | Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. | ||
| 5. | Many, Yahweh, 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 numbered. | Happy 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. | Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. | ||
| 6. | Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering. | O 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. | Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. | ||
| 7. | Then I said, "Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll. | You had no desire for offerings of beasts or fruits of the earth; ears you made for me: for burned offerings and sin offerings you made no request. | Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, | ||
| 8. | I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart." | Then I said, See, I come; it is recorded of me in the roll of the book, | I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. | ||
| 9. | I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know. | My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart. | I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. | ||

| 11. | Don't withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me. | Your 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. | Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me. | ||
| 12. | For 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. | Take not away your gentle mercies from me, O Lord; let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever. | For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. | ||
| 13. | Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Yahweh. | For 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. | Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. | ||
| 14. | Let 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. | Be pleased, O Lord, to take me out of danger; O Lord, come quickly and give me help. | Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. | ||
| 15. | Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha! Aha!" | Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble. | Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. | ||
| 16. | Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let Yahweh be exalted!" | Let those who say to me, Aha, aha! be surprised because of their shame. | Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. | ||
| 17. | But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don't delay, my God. | Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May the Lord be great. | But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. | ||
