Thanksgiving and a Cry for Help

40[For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.] I waited patiently for the LORD, and He turned to me and heard my cry for help.H5329H4210H1732H6960H6960H3068H5186H8085H7775 2He brought me up from a desolate pit, out of the muddy clay, and set my feet on a rock, making my steps secure.H5927H7588H953H3121H2916H6965H7272H5553H3559H838 3He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD.H5414H2319H7892H6310H8416H430H7227H7200H3372H982H3068 4How happy is the man who has put his trust in the LORD and has not turned to the proud or to those who run after lies!H835H1397H7760H3068H4009H6437H7295H7750H3577 5LORD my God, You have done many things— Your wonderful works and Your plans for us; none can compare with You. If I were to report and speak [of them], they are more than can be told.H7227H3068H430H6381H6213H4284H6186H5046H1696H6105H5608 6You do not delight in sacrifice and offering; You open my ears to listen. You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering.H2077H4503H2654H241H3738H5930H2401H7592 7Then I said, "See, I have come; it is written about me in the volume of the scroll.H559H935H4039H5612H3789 8I delight to do Your will, my God; Your instruction resides within me."H2654H6213H7522H430H8451H8432H4578 9I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; see, I do not keep my mouth closed— as You know, LORD.H1319H6664H7227H6951H3607H8193H3068H3045 10I did not hide Your righteousness in my heart; I spoke about Your faithfulness and salvation; I did not conceal Your constant love and truth from the great assembly.H3680H6666H8432H3820H559H530H8668H3582H2617H571H7227H6951 11LORD, do not withhold Your compassion from me; Your constant love and truth will always guard me.H3607H7356H3068H2617H571H8548H5341 12For troubles without number have surrounded me; my sins have overtaken me; I am unable to see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my courage leaves me.H4557H7451H661H5771H5381H3201H7200H6105H8185H7218H3820H5800 13LORD, be pleased to deliver me; hurry to help me, LORD.H7521H3068H5337H3068H2363H5833 14Let those who seek to take my life be disgraced and confounded. Let those who wish me harm be driven back and humiliated.H954H2659H3162H1245H5315H5595H5472H268H3637H2655H7451 15Let those who say to me, "Aha, aha!" be horrified because of their shame.H8074H6118H1322H559H1889H1889 16Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; let those who love Your salvation continually say, The LORD is great!"H1245H7797H8055H157H8668H559H8548H3068H1431 17I am afflicted and needy; the Lord thinks of me. You are my help and my deliverer; my God, do not delay.H6041H34H136H2803H5833H6403H309H430
