Psalms 40:2-9

²He took me up out of a deep waste place, out of the soft and sticky earth; he put my feet on a rock, and made my steps certain.

³And he put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God; numbers have seen it with fear, and put their faith in the Lord.

⁴Happy is the man who has faith in the Lord, and does not give honour to the men of pride or to those who are turned away to deceit.

⁵O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.

⁶You had no desire for offerings of beasts or fruits of the earth; ears you made for me: for burned offerings and sin offerings you made no request.

⁷Then I said, See, I come; it is recorded of me in the roll of the book,

⁸My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.

⁹I have given news of righteousness in the great meeting; O Lord, you have knowledge that I have not kept back my words.
