For the music director; By David, a psalm. I relied completely on the LORD, and he turned toward me and heard my cry for help.
He lifted me out of the watery pit, out of the slimy mud. He placed my feet on a rock and gave me secure footing.
He gave me reason to sing a new song, praising our God. May many see what God has done, so that they might swear allegiance to him and trust in the LORD!
How blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD and does not seek help from the proud or from liars!
