Psalms 40:1-5
1
Psalm 40
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
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.
3
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the Lord.
4
Blessed is the man
who makes the Lord his trust,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods.
5
Many, O Lord my God,
are the wonders you have done.
The things you planned for us
no one can recount to you;
were I to speak and tell of them,
they would be too many to declare.
