Psalm 40:2-4

New Living Translation

²He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
    out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground
    and steadied me as I walked along.
³He has given me a new song to sing,
    a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
    They will put their trust in the Lord.

⁴Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord,
who have no confidence in the proud
or in those who worship idols.
