Psalm 40
1 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.
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.

This beautiful Psalm is the favourite of my husband and since it is his birthday, I am posting it. Happy Birthday, Hubby!
It is marvellous to think upon our Saviour, who puts a new song in the once stony hearts of His people and causes us to praise and rejoice in his wonderful love and salvation.
Happy birthday, Ruby's husband! :)
ReplyDeleteGod has certainly put a new song in my mouth, and I'm praising Him forever more! :D
Have a wonderful Easter,
Blessings, Jillian ♥

ReplyDeleteI love this Psalm, too. We sang it as children, though not this metrical version. :)
