Happy are those who make the Lord their trust, who do not turn to the proud to those who go astray after false gods…I delight to do Your will, O My God! Your Law is within my heart. –Psalm 40:4;8 (NRSVCE)

Thanksgiving For Deliverance and Prayer For Help

I waited patiently for the Lord, He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the

desolate pit, out of the miry bog and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a

new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust

in the Lord. Happy are those who make the Lord their trust, who do not turn to the proud, to

those who go astray after false gods. You have multiplied, O Lord My God, Your wondrous

deeds and Your thoughts toward us; None can compare with you. Were I to proclaim and tell

them, they would be more than can be counted. Sacrifice and offering You do not desire but

You have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering, You have not required. Then I

said, “Here I am; In the Scroll of the Book it is written of me. I delight to do Your will, O My

God! Your Law is within my heart.” I have told The Glad (Good) News of deliverance in the

great congregation; See I have not restrained my lips as You know, O Lord. I have not hidden

Your saving help within my heart, I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have

not concealed Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness keep me safe forever. For evils have

encompassed me without number, my iniquities have overtaken me until I cannot see; They are

more than the hairs of my head and my heart fails me. Be pleased O Lord, to deliver me; O

Lord, make haste to help me. Let all those be put to shame and confusion who seek to snatch

away my life; Let those be turned back and brought to dishonor who desire my hurt. Let those

be appalled because of their shame who say to me, ‘Aha, Aha!’ May all who seek You rejoice and

be glad in You; May those who love Your salvation say continually, “Great is the Lord!” As for

me, I am poor and needy but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer;

Do not delay, O My God. –Psalm 40:1-17
