Psalm 40:1–3

1  I uwaited patiently for the Lord;

he inclined to me and vheard my cry.

2  He drew me up from wthe pit of destruction,

out of xthe miry bog,

and yset my feet upon a rock,

zmaking my steps secure.

3  He put aa new song in my mouth,

a song of praise to our God.

Many will bsee and fear,

and put their trust in the Lord.
