The psalmist opens with the declaration that he waited patiently for the LORD and God heard his cry and brought him up from the pit. The verb 'waited' emphasizes patient expectation even through extended trial. The imagery of being brought up from the pit suggests rescue from profound depth and danger. This opening establishes that God has already intervened to deliver the psalmist from dire circumstances. The psalm celebrates this deliverance and promises to testify to what God has done.
