Psalms 40:1-3

Psalms 40:1-3

[1] [[To the chief Musician,  A Psalm  of David.]]  I waited  for the LORD;  and he inclined  unto me, and heard  my cry.  [2] He brought me up  also out of an horrible  pit,  out of the miry  clay,  and set  my feet  upon a rock,  and established  my goings.  [3] And he hath put  a new  song  in my mouth,  even praise  unto our God:  many  shall see  it, and fear,  and shall trust  in the LORD.
