Psalms 40:12-17

12For evils have aencompassed me
beyond number;
my biniquities have overtaken me,
and I cannot csee;
they are dmore than the hairs of my head;
my heart efails me.
13 fBe pleased, O Lord, to gdeliver me!
O Lord, hmake haste to help me!
14 iLet those be put to shame and disappointed altogether
who seek to snatch away my life;
let those be jturned back and brought to dishonor
who delight in my hurt!
15Let those be appalled because of their shame
who ksay to me, “Aha, Aha!”
16 But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation
lsay continually, “Great is the Lord!”
17As for me, I am mpoor and needy,
but nthe Lord takes thought for me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
do not delay, O my God!
