He put a new song in my mouth—
    a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
    and trust in Adonai.
Blessed is the one
who put his confidence in Adonai,
who has not turned to the arrogant,
nor to those who fall into falsehood.
Many things You have done, Adonai my God
—Your plans for us are wonderful—
there is none to be compared to You!
If I were to speak and tell of them,
they would be too many to count!

who does not look to the proud,(C)
    to those who turn aside to false gods.[a](D)
Many, Lord my God,
    are the wonders(E) you have done,
    the things you planned for us.
None can compare(F) with you;
    were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
    they would be too many(G) to declare.

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—(H)
    but my ears you have opened[b](I)
    burnt offerings(J) and sin offerings[c] you did not require.
