Psalms 40:1-5 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. I waited patiently for the Lord,and He turned to me and heard my cry for help.

2. He brought me up from a desolate pit,out of the muddy clay, and set my feet on a rock,making my steps secure.

3. He put a new song in my mouth,a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fearand put their trust in the Lord.

4. How happy is the manwho has put his trust in the Lordand has not turned to the proudor to those who run after lies!

5. Lord my God, You have done many things —Your wonderful works and Your plans for us;none can compare with You.If I were to report and speak of them,they are more than can be told.
