Faith Persevering in Trial

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 I awaited patiently for the Lord;
And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry. 
2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of athe miry clay,
And bset my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps. 
3 aHe has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the Lord. 
4 aBlessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust,
And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 
5 aMany, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works
Which You have done;
bAnd Your thoughts toward us
Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.
