2 He took me from an horrid pit, Out of the [sordid] miry clay, And set my feet upon a Rock, And [safely] stablished my way.
3 He put a new song in my mouth, Our God to [praise and] magnify; Many shall see, and fear the Lord, And shall [by faith] on him rely.

4 O blessed is that man, whose trust Upon the Lord [alone] relies! Respecting not the proud, nor such As turn aside [from truth] to lies.

5 O Lord my God, how many are The wonders thou [for us] hast wrought? By which thou hast made known to us The measures of thy [gracious] thoughts. They cannot all be reckoned up [By-us] in order unto thee; If I would mention them, they're more Than numbered by man can be.
