Psalm 40:1-5,7-8,11,13-14,16 || AMP
[1]I WAITED patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry.
[2]He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings.
[3]And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord. [Ps. 5:11.]
[4]Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who makes the Lord his refuge and trust, and turns not to the proud or to followers of false gods.
[5]Many, O Lord my God, are the wonderful works which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us; no one can compare with You! If I should declare and speak of them, they are too many to be numbered.
[7]Then said I, Behold, I come; in the volume of the book it is written of me;
[8]I delight to do Your will, O my God; yes, Your law is within my heart. [Heb. 10:5-9.]
[11]Withhold not Your tender mercy from me, O Lord; let Your loving-kindness and Your truth continually preserve me!
[13]Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me!
[14]Let them be put to shame and confounded together who seek and require my life to destroy it; let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor who wish me evil and delight in my hurt!
[16]Let all those that seek and require You rejoice and be glad in You; let such as love Your salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified!
