words for you from "the smash hits of the bible""

The bible sometimes has stuff that feels so relevant to the period we are in.

The moment we feel stuck in .. that can not get out of

That moment in time reaching down, holding me here. 

But also preventing us from growing,

Moving forward, it not a keen place, nor a good place to be, like the present.

It not bad idea to cling to the words visited before like in Psalms. .""smash hits of the bible"" here are some words from `Psalm 40` and `Psalm 41`.

Speak to me this day.

Which is not brilliant . . truth be told.

I waited patiently for the Lord;

    he turned to me and heard my cry.

 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.

Many will see and fear the Lord

    and put their trust in him.

“God, be gracious!

    Put me together again—

    my sins have torn me to pieces.”

My enemies are wishing the worst for me;

    they make bets on what day I will die.

If someone comes to see me,

    he mouths empty platitudes,

All the while gathering gossip about me

    to entertain the street-corner crowd.

These “friends” who hate me

    whisper slanders all over town.
