TSK · Psalms 40:2

My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.

He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.

For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

From the end of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Deliver me out of the mire, and don't let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.

For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

Establish my footsteps in your word. Don't let any iniquity have dominion over me.

For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.

Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king's son, that was in the court of the guard: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. In the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.

The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.

"Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
