A Word from the LORD this morning...right when I needed it most

[Jules]

Psalm 40

¹ I waited patiently for the Lord;and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. ² He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay,
and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
³ And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:
many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
⁴ Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust,
and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
⁵ Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done,
and thy thoughts which are to us-ward:
they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee:
if I would declare and speak of them,
they are more than can be numbered.
⁶ Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire;
mine ears hast thou opened:
burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
⁷ Then said I, Lo, I come:in the volume of the book it is written of me, ⁸ I delight to do thy will, O my God:
yea, thy law is within my heart.
⁹ I have preached righteousness in the great congregation:
lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.
¹⁰ I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;
I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation:
I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
¹¹ Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
¹² For innumerable evils have compassed me about:
mine iniquities have taken hold upon me,
so that I am not able to look up;
they are more than the hairs of mine head:
therefore my heart faileth me.
¹³ Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me:
O Lord, make haste to help me.
¹⁴ Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it;
let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
¹⁵ Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
¹⁶ Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:
let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
¹⁷ But I am poor and needy;
yet the Lord thinketh upon me:
thou art my help and my deliverer;
make no tarrying, O my God.
