Psalm 40:2-4
International Standard Version

2 He plucked me out of a pit of confusion,[a]
    even out of the quicksand;
he placed my feet on a rock
    and established my steps.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
    praise to our God!
Many will watch and be in awe,
    and they will place their trust in the Lord.

4 How blessed is that strong person
    who places his trust in the Lord,
    and who has not acknowledged the proud
        nor resorted to lies.
