Psalm 40:11-17



11
You, O Yahweh, will not withhold Your compassion from me;
1Your alovingkindness and Your truth will continually guard me.

12
For evils beyond number have asurrounded me;
My biniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see;
They are cmore numerous than the hairs of my head,
And my dheart has 1failed me.


13
aBe pleased, O Yahweh, to deliver me;
Make bhaste, O Yahweh, to help me.

14
Let those be aashamed and humiliated together
Who bseek my 1life to sweep it away;
Let those be turned back and dishonored
Who delight in 2evil against me.

15
Let those abe 1appalled because of their shame
Who bsay to me, “Aha, aha!”

16
aLet all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let those who love Your salvation bsay continually,
“Yahweh be magnified!”

17
As for me, aI am afflicted and needy,
1bMay the Lord think of me.
You are my help and the One who rescues me;
Do not delay, O my God.
