Psalms 40:1-4

1I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.

2He 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.

3He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.

4Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord, who have no confidence in the proud or in those who worship idols.
