Psalm39 (40)
A Song of Praise
I waited patiently for the Lord's help; then he listened to me and heard my cry. He pulled me out of a dangerous pit, out of the deadly quicksand. He set me safely on a rock and made me secure.
He 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.
Happy are those who trust the Lord, who do not turn to idols or join those who worship false gods. You have done many things for us, O Lord our God; there is no one like you ! You have made many wonderful plans for us. I could never speak of them all - their number is so great !
Lord, I know you will never stop being merciful to me. Your love and loyalty will always keep me safe.
May all who come to you be glad and joyful. May all who are thankful for your salvation say, "How great is the Lord !"
I am weak and poor, O Lord, but you have not forgotten me. You are my saviour and my God - hurry to my aid !
