Psalm 40:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
A
2 Surely, I wait for the Lord;
who bends down to me and hears my cry,(A)
3 Draws me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the muddy clay,(B)
Sets my feet upon rock,
steadies my steps,
4 And puts a new song[a] in my mouth,(C)
a hymn to our God.
Many shall look on in fear
and they shall trust in the Lord.
