Reading: Psalm 40:1-8
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
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.
Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.
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.
Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—but my ears you have opened—burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—it is written about me in the scroll.
I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”
Prayer
Gracious God,
thank you that you hear us when we cry to you.
You lift us from the places where we feel stuck,
set our feet on solid ground,
and put a new song of praise in our mouths.
Help us today to trust your timing,
to remember your faithfulness,
and to delight in doing your will.
May our worship not be empty habit,
but the offering of lives surrendered to you.
Write your truth deep within us,
and let others see in us a reason to hope.
Amen.
