40I waited patiently for the LORD's help; then he listened to me and heard my cry.H5329H4210H1732H6960H6960H3068H5186H8085H77752He pulled me out of a dangerous pit, out of the deadly quicksand. He set me safely on a rock and made me secure.H5927H7588H953H3121H2916H6965H7272H5553H3559H8383He taught me to sing a new song, a song of praise to our God. Many who see this will take warning and will put their trust in the LORD.H5414H2319H7892H6310H8416H430H7227H7200H3372H982H30684Happy are those who trust the LORD, who do not turn to idols or join those who worship false gods.H835H1397H7760H3068H4009H6437H7295H7750H35775You have done many things for us, O LORD our God; there is no one like you!

Instead, you have given me ears to hear you,H2077H4503H2654H241H3738H5930H2401H75927and so I answered, "Here I am; your instructions for me are in the book of the Law.H559H935H4039H5612H37898How I love to do your will, my God! I keep your teaching in my heart."H2654H6213H7522H430H8451H8432H45789In the assembly of all your people, LORD, I told the good news that you save us. You know that I will never stop telling it.H1319H6664H7227H6951H3607H8193H3068H304510I have not kept the news of salvation to myself; I have always spoken of your faithfulness and help. In the assembly of all your people I have not been silent about your loyalty and constant love.H3680H6666H8432H3820H559H530H8668H3582H2617H571H7227H695111LORD, I know you will never stop being merciful to me.
