Psalm 40

Lord, you drew me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and you set my feet upon the rock. You steadied my steps and established my goings.

You, father, have put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to you, my God.

Therefore, I am not too concerned about what may happen tomorrow. You, Almighty Father, are the same everlasting one who cares for me today, and you will take care of me tomorrow and every day. Either you will shield me from the suffering, or you will give me unfailing strength to bear it.

I am at peace. I put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations, and I say continually, “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. He is not only with me, but in me, and I in him.”
