October 2019: October 20th 2019 - (Psalm 40)

Wea Ridge Baptist Church

Pastor Dan makes a return to Psalm 40.     https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+40&version=NKJV I waited patiently for the  Lord ; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. 2  He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And  established my steps. 3  He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see  it  and fear, And will trust in the  Lord . 4  Blessed  is  that man who makes the  Lord  his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5  Many, O  Lord  my God,  are  Your wonderful works Which  You have done; And Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order; If  I would declare and speak  of them, They are more than can be numbered. 6  Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; My ears You have opened. Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require. 7  Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book  it is  written of me. 8  I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law  is  within my heart.” 9  I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness In the great assembly; Indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O  Lord , You Yourself know. 10  I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth From the great assembly. 11  Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O  Lord ; Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me. 12  For innumerable evils have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; Therefore my heart fails me. 13  Be pleased, O  Lord , to deliver me; O  Lord , make haste to help me! 14  Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion Who seek to destroy my  [ a ] life; Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor Who wish me evil. 15  Let them be confounded because of their shame, Who say to me, “Aha, aha!” 16  Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let such as love Your salvation say continually, “The  Lord  be magnified!” 17  But I  am  poor and needy; Yet  the  Lord  thinks upon me. You  are  my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God.
