Psalm 40:2-4
Expanded Bible

2 He ·lifted [drew] me out of the pit of ·destruction [or desolation],
    out of the ·sticky mud [miry/muddy pit/bog/swamp].
He ·stood me [L placed my feet] on a rock
    and made my ·feet [L step] steady.
3 He put a new song [C celebrating victory; 33:3; 96:1; 98:1; 144:9; 149:1; Is. 42:10; Rev. 5:9; 14:3] in my mouth,
    a song of praise to our God.
Many people will see this and ·worship [fear] him.
    Then they will ·trust [find refuge in] the Lord.

4 ·Happy [Blessed] is the person
    who ·trusts [finds refuge in] the Lord,
who doesn’t turn to those who are proud
    or to those who ·worship [go astray to] ·false gods [L a lie].
