Psalm 40:1-3

International Children’s Bible

40 I waited patiently for the Lord.
    He turned to me and heard my cry.
² He lifted me out of the pit of destruction,
    out of the sticky mud.
He stood me on a rock.
    He made my feet steady.
³ He put a new song in my mouth.
    It was a song of praise to our God.
Many people will see this and worship him.
    Then they will trust the Lord.
