Psalm 40:1 - Plain English Version

^1-2 I had really bad trouble. It’s like I was in a deep hole that people die in. It’s like I was stuck in a bad place, like my legs were stuck in sticky mud. But I trusted God, and I waited for him to help me. I cried out to him, and he listened to me. God helped me. He saved me from that trouble. It’s like he lifted me out of that mud, and put my feet on good hard ground. God kept me safe. It’s like he gave me a safe path to walk on.
