Our Deliverance

Psalm 40:1-10 ESV

1 I waited patiently for the Lord;
      he inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
      out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
      making my steps secure.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
      a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
      and put their trust in the Lord.

4 Blessed is the man who makes
      the Lord his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
      to those who go astray after a lie!
5 You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
      your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
      none can compare with you!
I will proclaim and tell of them,
      yet they are more than can be told.

6 In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,
      but you have given me an open ear.
Burnt offering and sin offering
      you have not required.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come;
      in the scroll of the book it is written of me:
8 I delight to do your will, O my God;
      your law is within my heart.”

9 I have told the glad news of deliverance
      in the great congregation;
behold, I have not restrained my lips,
      as you know, O Lord.
10 I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart;
      I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;
I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness
      from the great congregation.
