He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
3

4

5
You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you. Were I to proclaim and tell of them, they would be more than can be counted.
6
Sacrifice and offering you do not desire, but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.
7
Then I said, "Here I am; in the scroll of the book it is written of me.
8
I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."
9
I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; see, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O Lord.
10
I have not hidden your saving help within my heart, I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.
11
Do not, O Lord, withhold your mercy from me; let your steadfast love and your faithfulness keep me safe forever.
12
For evils have encompassed me without number; my iniquities have overtaken me, until I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails me.
