Psalm 40

God Sustains His Servant.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

1I waited patiently for the Lord;

And He reached down to me and heard my cry.

2He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud;

And He set my feet on a rock, making my footsteps firm.

3He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;

Many will see and fear

And will trust in the Lord.

4How blessed is the man who has made the Lord his trust,

And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who become involved in falsehood.

5Many, Lord my God, are the wonders which You have done,

And Your thoughts toward us;

There is no one to compare with You.

If I would declare and speak of them,

They would be too numerous to count.
