1. To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,
2. And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation--from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.
3. And He putteth in my mouth a new song, `Praise to our God.' Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.
4. O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.
5. Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.
6. Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.
7. Then said I, `Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me,
8. To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law [is] within my heart.
