Study the Bible in Basic English : Psalm for the day #40

Psalms 40 1. <To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm.> When I was waiting quietly for the Lord, his heart was turned to me, and he gave ear to my cry. 2. He took me up out of a deep waste place, out of the soft and sticky earth; he put my feet on a rock, and made my steps certain. 3. And he put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God; numbers have seen it with fear, and put their faith in the Lord. 4. Happy is the man who has faith in the Lord, and does not give honour to the men of pride or to those who are turned away to deceit. 5. O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say. ; AB Lausanne church
