God is Good

I have a favorite Psalm that I would like to share with you. I t is Psalm number 40 and has a message about how God saves us when we cry for him.

Psalm 4o

Verses 1-5

1

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 the 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.
