019:040:001
I waited patiently for the LORD;
and he inclined unto me,
and heard my cry.

019:040:002
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.

019:040:003
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.

019:040:004
Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust,
and respecteth not the proud,
nor such as turn aside to lies.

019:040:005
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.

019:040:006
Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire;
mine ears hast thou opened:
burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

019:040:007
Then said I,
Lo,
I come:
in the volume of the book it is written of me,

019:040:008
I delight to do thy will,
O my God:
yea,
thy law is within my heart.

019:040:009
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation:
lo,
I have not refrained my lips,
O LORD,
thou knowest.

019:040:010
I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;
I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation:
I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

019:040:011
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me,
O LORD:
let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

019:040:012
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.

019:040:013
Be pleased,
O LORD,
to deliver me:
O LORD,
make haste to help me.

019:040:014
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.

019:040:015
Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me,
Aha,
aha.

019:040:016
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:
let such as love thy salvation say continually,
The LORD be magnified.

019:040:017
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.
