6. Psalm 40
1 I waited patiently for the Lord;     he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,     out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock     and gave me a firm place to stand.

7. Psalm 40
3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in Him.

8. Psalm 40
4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, Who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.

9. Psalm 40
5 Many, Lord my God,     are the wonders you have done,     the things you planned for us. None can compare with You;     were I to speak and tell of Your deeds,     they would be too many to declare.

Ephesians 2:8-10
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Matthew 28:19-20
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
