Psalm 40:1–3

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1  I waited patiently for the Lord;

he inclined to me and heard my cry.

2  He drew me up from the pit of destruction,

out of the ymiry bog,

and set my feet zupon a rock,

making my steps secure.

3  He put a new song in my mouth,

a song of praise to our God.

Many will see and fear,

and put their trust in the Lord.
