Psalm 40

C.M.

I WAITED for the Lord my God,

And patiently did bear;

At length to me He did incline

My voice and cry to hear.

2

He took me from a fearful pit,

And from the miry clay,

And on a rock He set my feet,

Establishing my way.

3

He put a new song in my mouth,

Our God to magnify:

Many shall see it, and shall fear,

And on the Lord rely.

4

O blessed is the man whose trust

Upon the Lord relies;

Respecting not the proud, nor such

As turn aside to lies.
