Out of (C)the miry clay,
And (D)set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.

Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the Lord.

And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Which You have done;

Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.
