a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
They will put their trust in the LORD.

If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds,
I would never come to the end of them.

If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds,
I would never come to the end of them.
Thou, O Jehovah my God, hast multiplied thy marvellous works, and thy thoughts toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee; would I declare and speak [them], they are more than can be numbered.
Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire: ears hast thou prepared me. Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not demanded;
Then I said, “Look, I have come.
As is written about me in the Scriptures:
As is written about me in the Scriptures:
Then said I, Behold, I come, in the volume of the book it is written of me --
I take joy in doing your will, my God,
for your instructions are written on my heart.”

To do thy good pleasure, my God, is my delight, and thy law is within my heart.
I have told all your people about your justice.
I have not been afraid to speak out,
as you, O LORD, well know.
I have not been afraid to speak out,
as you, O LORD, well know.
I have published righteousness in the great congregation: behold, I have not withheld my lips, Jehovah, *thou* knowest.

I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power.
I have told everyone in the great assembly
of your unfailing love and faithfulness.

Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me.

For troubles surround me —
too many to count!
My sins pile up so high
I can’t see my way out.
They outnumber the hairs on my head.
I have lost all courage.

My sins pile up so high
I can’t see my way out.
They outnumber the hairs on my head.
I have lost all courage.
For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head: and my heart hath failed me.
Please, LORD, rescue me!
Come quickly, LORD, and help me.
Come quickly, LORD, and help me.
Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me; Jehovah, make haste to my help.
May those who try to destroy me
be humiliated and put to shame.
May those who take delight in my trouble
be turned back in disgrace.
be humiliated and put to shame.
May those who take delight in my trouble
be turned back in disgrace.
Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;
Let them be horrified by their shame,
for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”
for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”
Let them be desolate, because of their shame, that say unto me, Aha! Aha!

repeatedly shout, “The LORD is great!”
