Psalm 39:12 (NLT)
Hear my prayer, O LORD!
Listen to my cries for help!
Don't ignore my tears.
For I am your guest __
a traveller passing through,
as my ancestors were before me.
Psalm 40:2 (NLT)
He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground
and steadied me as I walked along.
3 He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.
5 O LORD my God, you have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no equal. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them.
6 You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings. Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand—you don’t require burnt offerings or sin offerings.
Psalm 40:10 (NLT)
I have not kept the good news of your justice hidden in my heart,
I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power.
I have told everyone in the great assembly
of your unfailing love and faithfulness.
Psalm 40:12 (NLT)
For troubles surround me __
too many to count!
My sins pile up so high
I can't see my way out.
They outnumber the hairs on my head.
I have lost all courage.
Psalm 40:16 (NLT)
But may all who search for you
be filled with joy and gladness in you.
May those who love you salvation
repeatedly shout, "The LORD is great!"
