Psalm 40 : Out of the Pit Blues

** Psalm 40 is a powerful expression of King David’s faith and trust in Yahweh’s deliverance. David wrote this psalm during a time when he was surrounded by troubles and overwhelmed by his own iniquities. Despite being in a dark place, David cried out to God, and Yahweh answered by pulling him out of despair, setting his feet on solid ground, and giving him a new song of praise.

** David’s faith in Yahweh’s mercy is echoed in his words:
"I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand." (Psalm 40:1-2, WEB)

** This blues song, "Out of the Pit," reflects the depth of David’s experience and speaks to the journey of finding redemption, deliverance, and hope when we cry out to God. The lyrics capture the essence of trusting in Yahweh, even in the darkest times, and His power to restore and uplift.

** Psalm 40 : Out of the Pit Blues Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
I waited on the Lord, my soul was bruised and torn,
In the darkness, I cried out, weary and worn.
He reached down deep where the shadows creep,
Pulled me from the pit, where the lost ones weep.

(Pre-Chorus)
He set my feet on a rock so high,
Lifted me up to the open sky.
A firm place to stand, where I could breathe again,
I found grace in the palms of His hands.

(Chorus)
Now there’s a new song rising in my soul,
A cry of freedom where once was a hole.
Many will see, and many will know,
In Yahweh's light, through the darkness we go.

(Verse 2)
Oh, the proud, they boast, but they don’t see clear,
They hide from the truth, caught up in their fear.
But me, I come empty, with no mask to wear,
You didn't ask for sacrifice, just the heart laid bare.

(Pre-Chorus)
You opened my ears to the sound of Your voice,
In Your will, O Lord, I made my choice.
To walk Your path, though the road is long,
I carry in my heart the strength of Your song.

(Chorus)
Now there’s a new song rising in my soul,
A cry of freedom where once was a hole.
Many will see, and many will know,
In Yahweh's light, through the darkness we go.

(Bridge)
"My sins overtook me, too heavy to bear,
More than the hairs of my head, in the air.
But You, Yahweh, be quick to save,
Before I fall deeper into the grave."

(Verse 3)
Let the ones who seek me fall into shame,
For they delight in my hurt, mockin' my name.
But let those who seek You find joy untold,
A love more precious than silver or gold.

(Pre-Chorus)
Let ‘em say always, "Yahweh be praised,"
For in His name, I’m no longer caged.
He is my help, my shield, my guide,
In His shadow, I will never hide.

(Final Chorus)
Now there’s a new song rising in my soul,
A cry of freedom where once was a hole.
Many will see, and many will know,
In Yahweh’s light, through the darkness we go.

(Outro)
Yes, I am poor, and I am in need,
But the Lord thinks of me in my hour of plea.
He’s my help, my deliverer true,
Yahweh, don't delay—I’m waiting for You.
