Psalm 40:1–5, “I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.”

Much of David’s early life was spent waiting in patience. He had to wait many years before he became the king. Even though he had to wait, he knew that the Lord heard his cry and acted for his benefit. He was in a terrible place, perhaps this could have been an emotional place as well as a physical place. He may well have struggled with depression but then he began to think on the Lord rather than on his own circumstances. The Lord gave him a new song to sing and delivered him from his depression. The Lord God only does good things and evil happens when people ignore the Lord and all His wisdom. David knew that he could talk about the Lord and His goodness for the rest of his life and would still not run out of new and exciting things to talk about.
