2. With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
3. And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.
4. And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.
5. Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
6. Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.
7. Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require:
8. then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me
9. that I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
