11 You have turned my mourning into dancing;
    you have taken off my sackcloth
    and clothed me with joy,(A)

Psalm 40

Thanksgiving for Deliverance and Prayer for Help

To the leader. Of David. A Psalm.

I waited patiently for the Lord;
    he inclined to me and heard my cry.(A)
He drew me up from the desolate pit,[a]
    out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
    making my steps secure.(B)

Many will see and fear
    and put their trust in the Lord.(C)
