The benefit of confidence in God.

1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician,º ª A Psalmº of David.]]º I waitedº ª patientlyº ª for the LORD;º and he inclinedº ª unto² me, and heardº ª my cry.º 2 He brought me upº ª also out of an horribleº pit,º ² out of the miryº clay,º ² and setº ª my feetº upon² a rock,º [and] establishedº ª my goings.º 3 And he hath putº ª a newº songº in my mouth,º [even] praiseº unto our God:º manyº shall seeº ª [it], and fear,º ª and shall trustº ª in the LORD.º 4 Blessedº [is] that manº that² makethº ª the LORDº his trust,º and respectethº ª ² not² the proud,º nor such as turn asideº ª to lies.º 5 Many,º O LORDº my God,º [are] thy wonderful¹ ª works² [which] thou² hast done,º ª and thy thoughtsº [which are] to² us-ward: they cannot² be reckoned up in orderº ª unto thee:² [if] I would declareº ª and speakº ª [of them], they are moreº ª than can be numbered.º ª ²

Obedience is the best sacrifice.

6 Sacrificeº and offeringº thou didst not² desire;º ª mine earsº hast thou opened:º ª burnt offeringº and sin offeringº hast thou not² required.º ª 7 Then² saidº ª I, Lo,² I come:º ª in the volumeº of the bookº [it is] writtenº ª of² me, 8 I delightº ª to doº ª thy will,º O my God:º yea, thy lawº [is] withinº my heart.º 9 I have preachedº ª righteousnessº in the greatº congregation:º lo,² I have not² refrainedº ª my lips,º O LORD,º thou² knowest.º ª 10 I have not² hidº ª thy righteousnessº withinº my heart;º I have declaredº ª thy faithfulnessº and thy salvation:º I have not² concealedº ª thy lovingkindnessº and thy truthº from the greatº congregation.º

The sense of David's evils inflameth his prayer.

11 Withholdº ª not² thou² thy tender merciesº from² me, O LORD:º let thy lovingkindnessº and thy truthº continuallyº preserveº ª me. 12 For² innumerableº ² ² evilsº have compassed¹ ª me about:² ² mine iniquitiesº have taken holdº ª upon me, so that I am not² ableº ª to look up;º ª they are moreº ª than the hairsº ² of mine head:º therefore my heartº failethº ª me. 13 Be pleased,º ª O LORD,º to deliverº ª me: O LORD,º make hasteº ª to helpº me. 14 Let them be ashamedº ª and confoundedº ª togetherº that seek¹ ª after² my soulº to destroyº ª it; let them be drivenº ª backwardº and put to shameº ª that wishº me evil.º 15 Let them be desolateº ª for² a rewardº of their shameº that sayº ª unto me, Aha,º aha.º 16 Let all² those that seekº ª thee rejoiceº ª and be gladº ª in thee: let such as loveº ª thy salvationº sayº ª continually,º The LORDº be magnified.º ª 17 But I² [am] poorº and needy;º [yet] the Lordº thinkethº ª upon me: thou² [art] my helpº and my deliverer;º ª make no² tarrying,º ª O my God.º
