Psalm 40:2-4

International Children’s Bible

²He lifted me out of the pit of destruction,
    out of the sticky mud.
He stood me on a rock.
    He made my feet steady.
³He put a new song in my mouth.
    It was a song of praise to our God.
Many people will see this and worship him.
    Then they will trust the Lord.

⁴Happy is the person
who trusts the Lord.
He doesn’t turn to those who are proud,
to those who worship false gods.
