Psalms 40:2

²³A man’s steps are established by the LORD. He delights in his way.

¹³³Establish my footsteps in your word. Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me.

⁵For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

²From 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.

²⁴“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock. ²⁵The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock.

²⁰You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

⁵The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head. ⁶I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever; yet you have brought my life up from the pit, LORD my God.

¹³For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

²I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

¹¹As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
