I WAITED patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015065">2</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015066">3</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015067">4</a>. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015068">5</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015069">6</a>. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015070">7</a>. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015071">8</a>. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015072">9</a>. I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015073">10</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015074">11</a>. Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015075">12</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015076">13</a>. Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015077">14</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015078">15</a>. Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015079">16</a>. Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015080">17</a>. 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.</li>
