Psalm 40:1-5

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Psalm 40:1-5

1I waited patiently for the LORD;
He inclined to me and heard my cry.
2He lifted me up from the pit of despair,
out of the miry clay;
He set my feet upon a rock,
and made my footsteps firm.
3He 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.
4Blessed is the man
who has made the LORD his trust,
who has not turned to the proud,
nor to those who lapse into falsehood.
5Many, O LORD my God,
are the wonders You have done,
and the plans You have for us —
none can compare to You —
if I proclaim and declare them,
they are more than I can count.
— Psalm 40:1-5
