Psalms 40:1 in context
Psalms 40:1–4
1
Selected verse
I waited patiently for the LORD.
He turned to me, and heard my cry.
2
He brought me up also out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay.
He set my feet on a rock,
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3
He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God.
Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4
Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust,
and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.
