Psalm 40:1-5

Tree of Life Version

¹ For the music director, a psalm of David.
² I waited patiently for Adonai.
He bent down to me and heard my cry.
³ He brought me up out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire.
Then He set my feet on a rock.
He made my steps firm.
⁴ He put a new song in my mouth—
    a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
    and trust in Adonai.
⁵ Blessed is the one
who put his confidence in Adonai,
who has not turned to the arrogant,
nor to those who fall into falsehood.
