Psalms 40:1-5

My Help and My Deliverer

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 I awaited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and bheard my cry.
2He drew me up from cthe pit of destruction,
out of dthe miry bog,
and eset my feet upon a rock,
fmaking my steps secure.
3He put ga new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will hsee and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is the man who imakes
the Lord his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
to those who jgo astray after a lie!
5You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
your kwondrous deeds and your lthoughts toward us;
none can compare with you!
I will proclaim and tell of them,
yet they are mmore than can be told.
