1 In finem. Psalmus ipsi David.
2 Exspectans exspectavi Dominum, et intendit mihi.
3 Et exaudivit preces meas, et eduxit me de lacu miseriae et de luto faecis.
Et statuit super petram pedes meos, et direxit gressus meos.
4 Et immisit in os meum canticum novum, carmen Deo nostro.
Videbunt multi, et timebunt, et sperabunt in Domino.
5 Beatus vir cujus est nomen Domini spes ejus, et non respexit in vanitates
et insanias falsas.
6 Multa fecisti tu, Domine Deus meus, mirabilia tua; et cogitationibus tuis non est qui similis
sit tibi.
Annuntiavi et locutus sum: multiplicati sunt super numerum.
7 Sacrificium et oblationem noluisti; aures autem perfecisti mihi.
Holocaustum et pro peccato non postulasti;
8 tunc dixi: Ecce venio.
In capite libri scriptum est de me,
9 ut facerem voluntatem tuam. Deus meus, volui, et legem tuam in medio cordis mei.
10 Annuntiavi justitiam tuam in ecclesia magna; ecce labia mea non prohibebo:
Domine, tu scisti.
11 Justitiam tuam non abscondi in corde meo; veritatem tuam et salutare tuum dixi;
non abscondi misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam a concilio multo.
12 Tu autem, Domine, ne longe facias miserationes tuas a me; misericordia tua et veritas tua semper susceperunt me.
13 Quoniam circumdederunt me mala quorum non est numerus; comprehenderunt me iniquitates meae, et non potui ut viderem. Multiplicatae sunt super capillos capitis mei, et cor meum dereliquit me.
14 Complaceat tibi, Domine, ut eruas me; Domine, ad adjuvandum me respice.
15 Confundantur et revereantur simul, qui quaerunt animam meam ut auferant eam;
convertantur retrorsum et revereantur, qui volunt mihi mala.
16 Ferant confestim confusionem suam, qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge!
17 Exsultent et laetentur super te omnes quaerentes te;
et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus, qui diligunt salutare tuum.
18 Ego autem mendicus sum et pauper; Dominus sollicitus est mei.
Adjutor meus et protector meus tu es; Deus meus, ne tardaveris.

A psalm of David himself.
1 I waited patiently for the Lord: and he inclined unto me, and heard my calling.
2 He brought me also out of the horrible pit, out of the mire and clay:
and set my feet upon the rock, and ordered my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth: even a thanksgiving unto our God.
4 Many shall see it, and fear: and shall put their trust in the Lord.
5 Blessed is the man that hath set his hope in the Lord: and turned not unto the proud,
and to such as go about with lies.
6 O Lord my God, great are the wondrous works which thou hast done, like as be also thy thoughts which are to us-ward: and yet there is no man that ordereth them unto thee:
7 If I should declare them, and speak of them: they should be more than I am able to express.
8 Sacrifice and meat-offering thou wouldest not: but mine ears hast thou opened.
9 Burnt-offerings, and sacrifice for sin, hast thou not required:
then said I, Lo, I come,
10 In the volume of the book it is written of me,
that I should fulfil thy will, O my God: I am content to do it; yea, thy law is within my heart.
11 I have declared thy righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I will not refrain my lips,
O Lord, and that thou knowest.
12 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart: my talk hath been of thy truth and of thy salvation.
13 I have not kept back thy loving mercy and truth: from the great congregation.
14 Withdraw not thou thy mercy from me, O Lord: let thy loving-kindness and thy truth alway
preserve me.
15 For innumerable troubles are come about me; my sins have taken such hold upon me that I am not able to look up: yea, they are more in number than the hairs of my head, and my heart hath failed me.
16 O Lord, let it be thy pleasure to deliver me: make haste, O Lord, to help me.
17 Let them be ashamed and confounded together, that seek after my soul to destroy it:
let them be driven backward and put to rebuke, that wish me evil.
18 Let them be desolate, and rewarded with shame: that say unto me, Fie upon thee, fie upon thee.
19 Let all those that seek thee be joyful and glad in thee:
and let such as love thy salvation say alway, The Lord be praised.
20 As for me, I am poor and needy: but the Lord careth for me.
21 Thou art my helper and redeemer: make no long tarrying, O my God.
