My Help and My Deliverer

 8 k I delight to do your will, O my God;

behold, I have not n restrained my lips,
o as you know, O Lord.
 10 I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart;
I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;
I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness
from the great congregation.
