He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. 3. He 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. Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust, and does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5. Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done; and 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.
