MHRPC: Psalm 40A

Psalm 40A: Psalm 40:1-4

Arlington, C.M. [G]

1. ¹ I waited long upon the LORD,
        Yea, patiently drew near;
And He at length inclined to me,
        My pleading cry to hear.

2. ² He took me from a fearful pit,
        From out the miry clay;
He set my feet upon a rock,
        Establishing my way.

3. ³ He put a new song in my mouth,
        Our God to magnify;
And many seeing it, shall fear
        And on the LORD rely.

4. ⁴ O greatly blessed is the man
        Who on the LORD relies;
Respecting not the proud, nor such
        As turn aside to lies.
