40:1 (NIV) I waited
patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He
lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to
stand. 3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise
to our God. Many will see and fear and put their
trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his
trust,
who does not look to the
proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are
the wonders you have done. The things you
planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak
and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.
