Faith Persevering in Trial(A)

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

40 I (B)waited patiently for the Lord;
And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.
He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of (C)the miry clay,
And (D)set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
(E)He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the Lord.

Psalm 40

For the worship leader. A song of David.

I waited a long time for the Eternal;
    He finally knelt down to hear me.
    He listened to my weak and whispered cry.
He reached down and drew me
    from the deep, dark hole where I was stranded, mired in the muck and clay.
    With a gentle hand, He pulled me out
To set me down safely on a warm rock;
    He held me until I was steady enough to continue the journey again.
As if that were not enough,
    because of Him my mind is clearing up.
Now I have a new song to sing—
    a song of praise to the One who saved me.
Because of what He’s done, many people will see
    and come to trust in the Eternal.

Dios sustenta a su siervo

Para el director del coro. Salmo de David.

40 Esperé pacientemente al Señor(A),
Y Él se inclinó a mí y oyó mi clamor(B).
Me sacó del hoyo de la destrucción(C), del lodo cenagoso;
Asentó mis pies sobre una roca(D) y afirmó mis pasos(E).
Puso en mi boca un cántico nuevo(F), un canto de alabanza a nuestro Dios.
Muchos verán esto, y temerán(G)
Y confiarán en el Señor.
