6 Sacrifice and meal-offering Thou didst not delight in-- Ears hast Thou pierced for me-- Burnt-offering and sin-offering Thou didst not demand. 7 Then I said, Behold, I am come-- In the roll of the book it is prescribed to me-- 8 To do Thy pleasure, my God, I delight, And Thy law is within my inmost parts. 9 I proclaimed glad tidings of Thy righteousness in the great congregation; Behold, my lips I did not restrain, Jehovah, Thou knowest. 10 Thy righteousness did I not hide within my heart; Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation did I speak; I concealed not Thy loving-kindness and Thy truth from the great congregation. 11 Thou, Jehovah, wilt not restrain Thy compassions from me; Thy loving-kindness and Thy troth will continually preserve me. 12 For evils beyond numbering have compassed me; My iniquities have overtaken me, and I am not able to see: They surpass the hairs of my head, And my heart has forsaken me. 13 Be pleased, Jehovah, to deliver me; Jehovah, hasten to my help. 14 Shamed and put to the blush together be the seekers after my soul to carry it away! Turned back and dishonoured be they who delight in my calamity! 15 Paralysed by reason of their shame Be they who say to me, Oho! Oho! 16 Joyful and glad in Thee be all who seek Thee! Jehovah be magnified, may they ever say who love Thy salvation! 17 But as for me, I am afflicted and needy; The Lord purposes [good] for me: My Help and my Deliverer art Thou; My God, delay not.
