3And brought me up out of a miserable pit And from miry clay; And He established my feet on a rock And kept straight my steps.

4He put a new song in my mouth, A hymn to our God; Many will see and be afraid, And shall hope in the Lord.

13For evils without number surrounded me; My transgressions overpowered me, and I could not see; They multiplied more than the hairs of my head, And my heart failed me.

15May those who seek my soul to make away with it Be disgraced and confounded together; May those who wish evil for me be turned back and disgraced;

16May those who say to me, "Well done! Well done!" Receive their shame immediately.

17May all who seek You, O Lord, Rejoice exceedingly, and be glad in You; And may those who love Your salvation Say continually, "The Lord be magnified."

18But I am poor and needy; the Lord will take care of me. You are my helper and my protector; O my God, do not delay.
