Psalm 40 (summary): I waited patiently for the Lord

David in Psalm 40 starts thanking God for past deliverance but ends up asking for further help. He starts praising God for him having heard him and having lifted him out of a slimy pit and having put a new song in his mouth. Happy is the person who trusts God, says David, because the resultant blessings are too many to tell. David says his desire is to do God's will and speak about God's salvation and faithfulness. He asks the Lord not to withhold his mercy from him, save him and help him. For God is his help and deliverer!
