They will put their trust in the LORD.

O LORD my God, you have performed many wonders for us.
Your plans for us are too numerous to list.
You have no equal.
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.
Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
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, Lo, 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.”
for your instructions are written on my heart.”
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, 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.

as you, O LORD, well know.
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
I have not kept the good news of your justice hidden in my heart;
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.

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve 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.
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.
For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
Please, LORD, rescue me!
Come quickly, LORD, and help me.
Come quickly, LORD, and help me.
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
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 confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
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 for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
But may all who search for you
be filled with joy and gladness in you.
May those who love your salvation
repeatedly shout, “The LORD is great!”

repeatedly shout, “The LORD is great!”
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
