Psalm 40:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹ I waited patiently for the Lord;
    he inclined to me and heard my cry.^(A)
2 He drew me up from the desolate pit,^[a]
    out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
    making my steps secure.^(B)
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
    a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
    and put their trust in the Lord.^(C)
