I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.

4 Blessed is the man who makes
the Lord his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
to those who go astray after a lie!
5 You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
none can compare with you!
I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.

As we continue to explore the relationship of David with the Rock, we find this imagery of an experience where God did some life-saving in his life. It is as if David was "going under" calling out to God, when God pulled him up, even gave him spiritual CPR, putting this "new song" in his mouth, leaving David to give testimony and thanksgiving to His life-saving Rock. We can each have that same testimony and life, by putting our trust in Him. The second segment of this scripture speaks to me so much about what we have been experiencing. Proud men want us to trust in them, to live a lie about who or what can "save" us. Don't trust in them. Put your trust in God alone. Only He can truly save.
