Psalms 40:1-5 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. I waited patiently for the Lord.He turned to me and heard my cry.

2. He lifted me out of the pit of destruction,out of the sticky mud.He stood me on a rock.He made my feet steady.

3. He put a new song in my mouth.It was a song of praise to our God.Many people will see this and worship him.Then they will trust the Lord.

4. Happy is the personwho trusts the Lord.He doesn’t turn to those who are proud,to those who worship false gods.

5. Lord our God, you have done many miracles.Your plans for us are many.If I tried to tell them all,there would be too many to count.
