Psalms 40:1

I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.

² He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.

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

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
