Psalm 40:2-4

Good News Translation

²He pulled me out of a dangerous pit,
    out of the deadly quicksand.
He set me safely on a rock
    and made me secure.
³He taught me to sing a new song,
    a song of praise to our God.
Many who see this will take warning
    and will put their trust in the Lord.

⁴Happy are those who trust the Lord,
who do not turn to idols
or join those who worship false gods.
