For the choir director.

A psalm of David.

As for me, 

since I am poor and needy, 

let the Lord keep me in his thoughts. 

You are my helper 

and my savior. 

O my God, 

do not delay.

Psalms 40:17 NLT

This is the end of this song, and David's situation does not seem to have changed, but again he lets us in. 

Whether today our hearts are full of joy or sorrow, if we're at peace or wrestling with things, or anywhere in between, this song tells us it's OK to express where we're at.

David expresses his heart that he wants to know he's in God's thoughts, that he's not forgotten. 

And then reminds himself of who God is. 

Our God is our helper and our saviour, and you are in his thoughts today. 

You and I, we are known by God. We can rest in that today. 

"O my God, 

do not delay"

The last phrase of this song echoes our hearts that all is not right in this world, that there is something more and better and fully restored that we hope and yearn for.
