Strange Places

1 I (A) waited [a] patiently for the LORD; and He inclined to me and (B) heard my cry.

2 He brought me up out of the (C) pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and (D) He set my feet upon a rock (E) making my footsteps firm.

3 He put a (F) new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; many will (G) see and fear and will trust in the LORD.

4 How (H) blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, and (I) has not turned to the proud, nor to those who (J) lapse into falsehood.

5 Many, O LORD my God, are (K) the wonders which You have done, and Your (L) thoughts toward us; there is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, they (M) would be too numerous to count.

6 (N) Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; my ears You have [b] opened; burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.

7 Then I said, "Behold, I come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me.

8 (O) I delight to do Your will, O my God; (P) Your Law is within my heart."

-Psalm 40:1-8
