In context
2I waited patiently for the Lord; And he attended to me, and hearkened to my supplication.
3And he brought me up out of a pit of misery, And from miry clay: And he set my feet on a rock, And ordered my goings aright.
— Psalms 39:4 —
5Blessed is the man whose hope is the name of the Lord, And who has not regarded vanities and false frenzies.
6O Lord my God, thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, And in thy thoughts there is none who shall be likened to thee: I declared and spoke of them: they exceeded number.
