"I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord."
When God delivers us from our pits of destruction and empowers us to make our steps secure with a hopeful future then our correct response is to praise God. This new experience is the new song God gives us to praise him by. Repeating our praise reminds us of when we trusted him in the past and he heard and blessed us. This leads us to rightfully trust in God in the future but it also brings us joy in the present by reminding us that God loves us. This song is meant to be heard by others just like David does here in this Psalm. When others hear our testimony of what God has done for us they will be challenged which drives them to "put their trust in the Lord". So our transformation through God's deliverance leads to his glory, our remembrance, our joy, our witness to others, others being challenged and likewise putting their trust in the Lord.
