A Song of Praise (Psalms 40:1-8) GNT

1  I waited patiently for the Lord's help; then he listened to me and heard my cry.
2  He pulled me out of a dangerous pit, out of the deadly quicksand, He set me safely on a rock and made me secure.
3  He taught me to sing a new song, a song of praise to our God.  Many who see this will take warning and will put their trust in the Lord.
4  Happy are those who trust the Lord, who do not turns to idols or join those who worship false gods.
5  You have done many things for us, O Lord our God; there is no one like you! You have made many wonderful plans for us.  I could never speak of them all---their number is so great!
6  You do not want sarifices and offerings; you do not ask for animals burned whole on the altar or for sacrifices to take away sins.  Instead, you have given me ears to hear you,
7  and so I answered, "Here I am; your instructions for me are in the book of the law."
8  How I love to do your will, my God! I keep your teaching in my heart."
