He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of (A)the miry clay,
And (B)set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
(C)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.

(D)Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust,
And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit,(A)
    out of the mud(B) and mire;(C)
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)
