Psalm 40 (English Standard Version)

1 I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is the man who makes
the Lord his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
to those who go astray after a lie!
5 You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
none can compare with you!
I will proclaim and tell of them,

6 In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,
but you have given me an open ear.

you have not required.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come;

Psalm 40 (Free Bible Version)

1 I waited for the Lord patiently, and he turned to me—he heard my cry for help.
2 He pulled me out of the pit of destruction, out from the mud and the slime. He set me on a rock, and gave me a safe place to stand.
