The God Who Draws Us Out of the Pit | A Psalm 40 Prophetic Blues Song

📜 Psalm 40 is the testimony of every believer who has ever cried out from the depths and watched God reach down into the impossible and draw them out. David isn’t just telling a story—he’s revealing a spiritual pattern that points directly to the ministry of Yeshua (Jesus), the Deliverer who pulls us out of the miry clay and sets our feet upon the Rock.

This psalm opens with waiting—patient, persistent, hopeful waiting—the kind that tests faith, reshapes character, and births a new song. Deliverance in Scripture isn’t always instant; it is formed in the quiet furnace of trust. When Yahweh “turns and hears,” He doesn’t just listen—He moves. He lifts. He restores.

Then comes the transformation:
“He has put a new song in my mouth.”
This isn’t just poetry—it’s prophetic. When God rescues you, He doesn't send you back with the old language of defeat. He gives you a new sound, a new identity, a new message that others will hear and come to fear (revere) and trust in Him.

David then shifts to a powerful revelation of the Messiah:
“Sacrifice and offering You didn’t desire…
Behold, I have come…
I delight to do Your will.”
This echoes directly in Hebrews, identifying Christ Himself as the One who came to do the Father’s will, replacing external ritual with internal obedience and perfect surrender.

The psalm ends with raw honesty—David feels overwhelmed, attacked, and surrounded—but he doesn’t break. He cries for deliverance with urgency, confidence, and humility:
“You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.”

📜 FULL ORIGINAL SCRIPTURE (Psalm 40 WEB)

Psalm 40

I waited patiently for Yahweh,

He turned to me and heard my cry.
He brought me up 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.

He has put a new song in my mouth,
Even praise to our God.
Many shall see it and fear,
And shall trust in Yahweh.

Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust,
And doesn’t respect the proud,
Nor such as turn aside to lies.

Many, Yahweh my God,
Are the wonderful works which You have done,
And Your thoughts which are toward us!
They can’t be declared back to You;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.

Sacrifice and offering You didn’t desire,
You have opened my ears;
You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.

Then I said, Behold, I have come!
It is written about me in the book in the scroll:
I delight to do Your will, my God,
Yes, Your law is within my heart!

I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness
In the great assembly.
Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, You know!
I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart.
I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation.
I have not concealed Your loving kindness and Your truth
From the great assembly.

Don’t withhold Your tender mercies from me, Yahweh.
Let Your loving kindness and Your truth continually preserve me.

For innumerable evils have surrounded me,
My iniquities have overtaken me,
So that I am not able to look up.
They are more than the hairs of my head—
My heart has failed me.

Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me!
Hurry to help me, Yahweh!

Let them be disappointed and confounded together
Who seek after my soul to destroy it.
Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor
Who delight in my hurt.
Let them be desolate by reason of their shame
Who tell me, “Aha! Aha!”

Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You!
Let such as love Your salvation say continually,
“Let Yahweh be exalted!”

But I am poor and needy.
May the Lord think about me.
You are my help and my deliverer.
Don’t delay, my God!

Prophetic Ending (Revelation of the Spirit)

He drew me out of the pit to sing a song the world has never known—
A song of mercy, a song of fire,
A song that breaks the chains of shame
And calls the broken higher.

He set my feet on the Rock that cannot be moved,
The Rock that was cut without hands,
The Cornerstone of Truth.
I will sing before kings and not be silent,
For the Lord my Deliverer lives!

The pit becomes the platform,
The clay becomes the calling,
And every trial becomes a testimony.

Behold—He is making all things new!
The sound of the redeemed rises from the depths,
The weak stand strong, the lost are found,
And the humble sing,
“Yahweh be exalted forever!”
