I waited long upon the LORD;
He heard my cry and turned to me.
He raised me from the slimy pit
And from the mire he pulled me free.
He set my feet on solid rock,
A place to stand both firm and broad.
He put a new song in my mouth,
A joyful hymn of praise to God.
Many will look with godly fear
And on the LORD alone rely.
Blessèd are they who trust the LORD,
Who shun the proud and gods that lie.
The wonders you have done, O LORD,
How many and how great they are!
Your plans for us are far beyond
Our power to number or declare.
You did not ask that calves or goats
Be brought as sacrifice for sin,
But you have opened up my ears;
You did not seek burnt offering.
Then I declared, "LORD, I have come;
It's written of me in the scroll.
I want to do your will, my God;
Your law is in my heart and soul."
