Psalm 40:1-3

My Help and My Deliverer

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

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