Psalm 40

"I waited patiently," then the pit, the miry clay, the rock, and the new song. God wanted an opened ear and a heart that delights in His will, not sacrifices; Hebrews 10:5-10 reads verses 6-8 as Jesus speaking. Then the psalm drops back into trouble, with sins overtaking him. Being rescued once doesn't mean you'll never need rescue again.

"I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry." (Psalm 40:1)

Versions/Hebrew: "I waited patiently" in 40:1 is qavvoh qivviti [6960], "waiting I waited," a doubled verb for emphasis. YLT: "I have diligently expected Jehovah."
