Thanksgiving For Answered Prayer
1   I waited  patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2   He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps.
3   And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4   Blessed is that man that makes the LORD his trust, and respects not 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 which are toward us: they cannot be recounted in order unto you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
6   Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; my ears have you opened: burnt offering and sin offering have you not required.
7   Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8   I delight to do your will, O my God: yea, your law is within my heart.
9   I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not restrained my lips, O LORD, you know.
10   I have not hid your righteousness within my heart; I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation: I have not concealed your lovingkindness and your truth from the great congregation.
11   Withhold not your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let your lovingkindness and your truth continually preserve me.
12   For innumerable evils have surrounded me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart fails me.
13   Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
14   Let  them  be  ashamed  and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15   Let them be desolate as a reward for their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
16   Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: let such as love your salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
17   But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinks upon me: you are my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
