⁴ Blessed is the man
    who places trust in the Lord,
but does not turn toward the proud,
    nor those falling away to falsehood.
⁵ O Lord my God,
    You have done many wonderful works,
and Your thoughts toward us
    cannot be compared;
if I would declare and speak of them,
    they are more than can be numbered.

⁶ Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
    You have opened up my ears to listen.
Burnt offering and sin offering
    You have not required.
⁷ Then I said, “Behold, I have come;
    in the scroll of the book it is written of me,
⁸ I delight to do Your will, O my God;
    Your law is within my inward parts.”

⁹ I have proclaimed righteousness in the great congregation;
    I have not held back my lips,
    O Lord, You know.
¹⁰ I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;
    I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth
    from the great congregation.

¹¹ Do not withhold Your compassion from me, O Lord;
    may Your lovingkindness and Your truth always guard me.
¹² For innumerable evils have surrounded me;
    my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;
they are more than the hairs of my head
    so that my heart fails me.
¹³ Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;
    O Lord, make haste to help me.

¹⁴ May those seeking to snatch away my life
    be ashamed and confounded together;
may those who desire my harm
    be driven backward and dishonored.
¹⁵ May those who say to me “Aha, aha!”
    be appalled on account of their shame.
¹⁶ May all those who seek You
    rejoice and be glad in You;
may those who love Your salvation say continually,
    “The Lord is magnified.”

¹⁷ But I am poor and needy;
    yet the Lord thinks about me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
    do not delay, O my God.
