1 I waited patiently for the Lord;

he turned to me and heard my cry.

2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,

out of the mud and mire;

he set my feet on a rock

and gave me a firm place to stand.

1 I waited patiently for the Lord; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,

and he turned to me and heard my cry.

2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair,

out of the mud and the mire.

He set my feet on solid ground

and steadied me as I walked along.

1 I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me,

And heard my cry.

2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,

Out of the miry clay,

And set my feet upon a rock,

And established my steps.

1 I waited patiently for the Lord.

He turned to me and heard my cry.

2 He lifted me out of the pit of destruction,

out of the sticky mud.

He stood me on a rock

and made my feet steady.

1 I waited patiently for Jehovah;

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 he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

1 I waited patiently for Jehovah; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 And he brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock; he hath established my goings:

1 I waited patiently for the Lord. 

He turned to me and heard my cry for help. 

2 He pulled me out of a horrible pit, 

out of the mud and clay. 

He set my feet on a rock 

and made my steps secure. 

1 I waited patiently for the Lord,

and He turned to me and heard my cry for help.

2 He brought me up from a desolate pit,

out of the muddy clay,

and set my feet on a rock,

making my steps secure.

1 I waited patiently for the Lord;

he inclined to me and heard my cry.

2 He drew me up from the desolate pit,

out of the miry bog,

and set my feet upon a rock,

making my steps secure.

1 I waited patiently for Yahweh,

And he inclined to me

and heard my cry for help.

2 And so he brought me up from the roaring pit,

from the miry clay.

And he put my feet upon a rock;

he made my steps steady.

1 I was patient while I waited for the Lord.

He turned to me and heard my cry for help.

2 I was sliding down into the pit of death, and he pulled me out.

He brought me up out of the mud and dirt.

He set my feet on a rock.

He gave me a firm place to stand on.

1 I waited patiently for the Lord;

And He inclined to me and heard my cry.

2 He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay,

And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.
