He drew me up from (A)the pit of destruction,
    out of (B)the miry bog,
and (C)set my feet upon a rock,
    (D)making my steps secure.
He put (E)a new song in my mouth,
    a song of praise to our God.
Many will (F)see and fear,
    and put their trust in the Lord.

Blessed is the man who (G)makes
    the Lord his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
    to those who (H)go astray after a lie!

he set my feet(D) on a rock(E)
    and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song(F) in my mouth,
    a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord(G)
    and put their trust(H) in him.

Blessed is the one(I)
    who trusts in the Lord,(J)
who does not look to the proud,(K)
    to those who turn aside to false gods.[a](L)
