Prayer for Help and Praise to God

40I waited expectantly for the LORD, and he took notice of me and heard my cry.H5329H4210H1732H6960H6960H3068H5186H8085H7775
2He plucked me out of a pit of confusion, even out of the quicksand; he placed my feet on a rock and established my steps.H5927H7588H953H3121H2916H6965H7272H5553H3559H838
3He put a new song in my mouth, praise to our God! Many will watch and be in awe, and they will place their trust in the LORD.H5414H2319H7892H6310H8416H430H7227H7200H3372H982H3068
4How blessed is that strong person who places his trust in the LORD, and who has not acknowledged the proud nor resorted to lies.H835H1397H7760H3068H4009H6437H7295H7750H3577
5LORD, my God, You have done great things: marvelous works and your thoughts toward us. There is no one who compares to you! I will try to recite your actions, even though there are too many to number.H7227H3068H430H6381H6213H4284H6186H5046H1696H6105H5608
6You take no delight in sacrifices and offerings?you have prepared my ears to listen?you require no burnt offerings or sacrifices for sin.H2077H4503H2654H241H3738H5930H2401H7592
7Then I said, "Here I am! I have come! In the scroll of the book it is written about me.H559H935H4039H5612H3789
8I delight to do your will, my God. Your law is part of my inner being."H2654H6213H7522H430H8451H8432H4578
9In the great congregation I have proclaimed the righteous good news. Behold, I did not seal my lips, LORD, as you know.H1319H6664H7227H6951H3607H8193H3068H3045
10I have not ignored your righteousness in my heart; instead, I have proclaimed your faithfulness and deliverance. I have not concealed your gracious love and truthfulness from the great congregation.H3680H6666H8432H3820H559H530H8668H3582H2617H571H7227H6951
11LORD, do not withhold your mercy from me, for your gracious love and truthfulness will keep me safe continuously.H3607H7356H3068H2617H571H8548H5341
12Innumerable evils have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me so that I cannot see. They are more in number than the hair on my head, and my courage has forsaken me.H4557H7451H661H5771H5381H3201H7200H6105H8185H7218H3820H5800
13Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me; LORD, hurry up and help me!H7521H3068H5337H3068H2363H5833
14May those who seek to destroy my life be ashamed and confounded; let them be driven backwards and humiliated, particularly those who wish me evil.H954H2659H3162H1245H5315H5595H5472H268H3637H2655H7451
15Let shame be the reward for those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!"H8074H6118H1322H559H1889H1889
16Let all who seek you shout for joy and be glad in you. May those who love your deliverance say, "The LORD be magnified!" continuously.H1245H7797H8055H157H8668H559H8548H3068H1431
17But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think about me. You are my help and deliverer. My God, do not tarry too long!H6041H34H136H2803H5833H6403H309H430
