Psalm 40E: Psalm 40:1-9

Fingal, 66.66.D. [A]

1. 1 I waited for the LORD;
He stooped and heard my cry.
2 He brought me from the pit,
Out of the dungeon mire,
My feet set on a rock,
My footsteps made secure.
3 My lips He gave a song,
A song to praise our God.

2. Many will see with awe,
And so will trust the LORD.
4 Blessed he who trusts in GOD,
And turns not to false men.
5 You have worked wonders, LORD;
No one compares to You!
Should I declare each one,
Their number is too great..

3. 6 You want no offering,
Nor ask a sacrifice,
But You have given me
A ready ear to hear.
You ask no off'rings burnt
Nor sacrifice for sin.
7 So I say, "Here I come,
As in the scroll inscribed.

4. 8 "To do Your will, O God,
To me is my delight.
Your law is part of me,
Deep in my heart, O God."
9 In congregation great
I told Your righteousness.
You know, LORD, I spoke out;
I did not close my lips.
