“I waited for the Lord My God”

A Metrical Version of Psalm 40 verses 1 to 5
  1. I waited for the Lord my God,
         and patiently did bear;
    At length to me he did incline
         my voice and cry to hear.
  1. He took me from a fearful pit,
         and from the miry clay,
    And on a rock he set my feet,
         establishing my way.
  1. He put a new song in my mouth,
         our God to magnify:
    Many shall see it and shall fear,
         and on the Lord rely.
  1. O blessed is the man whose trust
         upon the Lord relies;
    Respecting not the proud, nor such
         as turn aside to lies.
  1. O Lord my God, full many are
         the wonders thou hast done;
    Thy gracious thoughts to us-ward far
         above all thoughts are gone:
  1. In order none can reckon them
         to thee: if them declare,
    And speak of them I would, they more
         than can be number'd are.
