1 For the LORD I waited and waited,
2From the horrible pit he drew me,
3He put a new song in my mouth,
4Happy the person who has put
5With us you have wrought in rich measure,
6In offerings bloody or bloodless
7Then said I, “Here I am,
8My delight, O God, is to do your will,
9Well, O LORD, you know
10not hiding it in my heart.
11So do not restrain, LORD,
12For evils that cannot be numbered
13O LORD, be pleased to deliver me,
14May those who are seeking my life
15May those who hurrah over me
16But may all who seek after you
17I am weak and needy,
