Psalm 40:2

Thanksgiving And A Cry For Help

¹ {To the chanter, a Psalm of David} I waited patiently for the LORD, and he inclined unto me, and heard my calling. ² He brought me out of the horrible pit, out of the mire and clay; he set my feet upon the rock, and ordered my goings. ³ He hath put a new song in my mouth, even a thanksgiving unto our God. Many men seeing this, shall fear the LORD, and put their trust in him.
