"I waited patiently for God to help me;
then He listened and heard my cry. 
He lifted me out of the pit of despair;
out from the bog and the mire;
and set my feet on a hard, firm path
and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing,
of praises to our God.
Now many will hear of the glorious things
He did for me,
and stand in awe before the Lord,
and put their trust in Him.
Many blessings are given
to those who trust the Lord."

~ Psalm 40: 1-4B LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Waiting for God to help us is not easy, but David (writer) received four benefits from waiting on God: 1) God lifted him out of his despair; 2) God set his feet on firm ground; 3) God steadied his walk, and 4) God gave him a new purpose. Often blessings cannot be received unless we go through the trial of waiting."
