I looked forward to the Lord,
and He, bowed to me,
and He heard my cry.
He lifted me up, fastened my feet on the rock,
He assured my steps, put a new song in my mouth,
He put a song of praise to our God in his mouth.
Many when seeing it were overwhelmed.
Many when seeing him trusted the Lord.
Blessed is the man who has put his trust in the Lord.
Blessed is the man who does not go to idolatries that mislead.
How many wonders have you done, Lord, my God.
How many wonders, how many plans on our behalf.
He is incomparable, I try to say them, I try to tell them,
but they surpass all description.
Sacrifices and offerings, you do not want them,
but you have opened my ears.
You do not ask for burnt offerings or victims.
So, I say: Here I am.
In the text it is written of me,
I have to fulfill your will
and today I want, my God, I carry your law in the bowels,
I have proclaimed the right to a large assembly,
I have not closed my lips.
Lord, you know, I have not kept your justice in your chest,
I have announced your truth, I have announced your salvation,
I have not denied your loyalty and fidelity to the great assembly.
Therefore, Lord, do not close my entrails.
Therefore, Lord, may your loyalty, your fidelity, keep me forever.
Only among all we can make this a better place :)
