40

Psalm 40 is one of the most engaging Psalms for me.
U2 was fond of it too as they put one of their more popular songs out with those lyrics.

Look here at the first 3 verses of it in The Message:

I waited and waited and waited for God.
    At last he looked; finally he listened.
He lifted me out of the ditch,
    pulled me from deep mud.
He stood me up on a solid rock
    to make sure I wouldn’t slip.
He taught me how to sing the latest God-song,
    a praise-song to our God.
More and more people are seeing this:
    they enter the mystery,
    abandoning themselves to God.

It's a beautiful thing when God lifts us up out of our worst spot and sits our feet upon the solid rock.  

There is something holy about rock bottom.
... there is nowhere to go but up.

Let's abandon ourselves and cling to God today.
