3 And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the lake of misery, and from the mire of dregs. And hath set my feet upon a rock: and hath directed my steps.📜💬📚

4 And he hath put a new canticle into my mouth: a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in our Lord.📜💬📚

5 Blessed is the man, whose hope is in the name of our Lord: and hath not had regard to vanities and false madness.📜💬📚

6 Thou hast done many thy marvelous things, o Lord my God: & in thy cogitations there is none that may be like to thee. I have declared and have spoken: they multiplied above number.📜💬📚

7 Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldest not: but ears thou hast perfited to me. Holocaust and for sin thou didst not require:📜💬📚

8 then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me,📜💬📚

9 that I should do thy will: my God I would, and thy law in the midst of my heart.📜💬📚

10 I have declared thy justice in the great Church, lo I will not stay my lips: Lord thou hast known it.📜💬📚

11 Thy justice I have not hid in my heart: thy truth and thy salvation I have spoken. I have not hid thy mercy, and thy truth from the great Councel.📜💬📚

12 But thou, o Lord, make not thy commiserations far from me: thy mercy, and thy truth have always received me.📜💬📚

13 Because evils have compassed me, which have no number: mine iniquities have overtaken me, & I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me.📜💬📚

14 It may please thee, o Lord, to deliver me: Lord have respect to help me.📜💬📚

15 Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward, and be ashamed that will me evils.📜💬📚

16 Let them forthwith receive their confusion, that say to me: Well, well.📜💬📚

17 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad upon thee: and let them that love thy salvation, say always: Our Lord be magnified:📜💬📚

18 But I am a beggar, and poor: Our Lord is careful to me. Thou art my helper, & my protector: my God be not slack.📜💬📚
