Salmos 40

Thanksgiving and a Cry for Help

1 I waited patiently for the  Lord,

and he turned to me and heard my cry for help.  * 40:1 Ps 27:14; 34:15; 37:7

2 He brought me up from a desolate  * 40:2 Or watery  pit,

out of the muddy clay,  * 40:2 Ps 69:2,14; Jr 38:6–13

and set my feet on a rock,

making my steps secure.  * 40:2 Ps 27:5; 37:23
