3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
and put their trust in him.
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
and put their trust in him.
4 Blessed is the one
who trusts in the Lord,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods.
5 Many, Lord my God,
are the wonders you have done,
the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.

(Psalm 40)
The Psalmist had cried out to God from the miry pit, and asked Him to deliver (verses 1,2) He got more than he asked for. Not only did God deliver him; he was also able to see the big picture of all the things God had done - from creation to provision and salvation - and it was overwhelming. It put a new song, a hymn of praise in his heart and his mouth. May we seek God, and then step back today, and let the hymn of praise flow.
