Friday – Psalm 40 selected verses
I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord; may your love and faithfulness always protect me.12 For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.13 Be pleased to save me, Lord; come quickly, Lord, to help me.16 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, “The Lord is great!”17 But as for me, I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; you are my God, do not delay.
