Psalms 40:4

Happy the man who maketh the LORD his trust, And resorteth not to men of pride and falsehood!

Noyes Bible

In The King James Version

Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

In Context

3He hath put into my mouth a new song, A song of praise to our God. Many shall see, and fear, And put their trust in the LORD.

5Many, O LORD, my God! are the wonderful works which thou hast done; Many have been thy gracious purposes towards us; None can be compared to thee! Would I declare and rehearse them, they are more than can be numbered.
