Psalm 40:2

O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.

For by You I can run upon a troop; And by my God I can leap over a wall.

My foot stands on level ground; In the congregations I shall bless Yahweh.

For in the day of calamity He will conceal me in His shelter; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.

The footsteps of a man are established by Yahweh, And He delights in his way.

I have sunk in deep clay, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me.

Oh may my ways be established To keep Your statutes!
