Psalm 40:1-3

Common English Bible

40 I put all my hope in the Lord.
    He leaned down to me;
    he listened to my cry for help.
² He lifted me out of the pit of death,
    out of the mud and filth,
    and set my feet on solid rock.
        He steadied my legs.
³ He put a new song in my mouth,
    a song of praise for our God.
Many people will learn of this and be amazed;
    they will trust the Lord.
