PSALM 39
Response:
Lord, come to my aid.
Verse 1:
I waited, I waited for the Lord
and he stooped down to me;
he heard my cry.
Verse 2:
He drew me from the deadly pit,
from the miry clay.
He set my feet upon a rock
and made my footsteps firm.
Verse 3:
He put a new song into my mouth,
praise of our God.
Many shall see and fear
and shall trust in the Lord.
Verse 4:
As for me, wretched and poor,
the Lord thinks of me.
You are my rescuer, my help,
O God, do not delay.
