I waited patiently for the Lord He turned and heard my cry He lifted me from the mud and mire He set my feet on a Rock He put a new song within my mouth A hymn of praise to our God Many will see and they will fear And put their trust in the Lord Blessed is the man, who trusts only in the Lord Who does not look to the proud To those who turn to their idols So many, my Lord, are the wonders that You have done The things You plan for us, theyre too many to declare It was not sacrifice that You desired But You have pierced my ears Burnt offerings You did not require It was not Your desire Here I am, I said And I have come For things are written of me How I desire to do Your will Your law is in my heart I will proclaim Your righteousness in the assembly I do not seal my lips as You know O Lord I do not hide Your righteousness and Your salvation Your love and truth Ill show within Your most holy assembly Do not withhold Your mercy from me, O Lord May Your love and truth always protect me Though troubles without number surround me My sins have overtaken me I cannot see They are more than the hairs of my head My heart fails within me Be pleased O Lord to save me Come quickly O Lord to my help May all who seek to take my life Be put to shame and confusion, O Lord May all those who desire my ruin Turn back in disgrace Be appalled at their own shame Then may all those who seek You Be glad and rejoice in You May those who love Your salvation say The Lord be exalted! Yet I am poor and needy May the Lord think of me For You are my help Lord, do not delay
