Salmos 40

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,*40:2. The word used here is usually translated "tumult" or "roaring" but is here thought to mean "desolation" or "destruction." out from the mud and the slime. He set me on a rock, and gave me a safe place to stand.
