American Standard Version

Psalm 40:1-4 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. I waited patiently for Jehovah; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

2. He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay; And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

3. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: Many shall see it, and fear, And shall trust in Jehovah.

4. Blessed is the man that maketh Jehovah his trust, And respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
