Psalms 40:11-17

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

11You, Lord, will not withhold Your compassion from me;
Your mercy and Your truth will continually watch over me.
12For evils beyond number have surrounded me;
My guilty deeds have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see;
They are more numerous than the hairs of my head,
And my heart has failed me.
13Be pleased, Lord, to rescue me;
Hurry, Lord, to help me.
14May those be ashamed and humiliated together
Who seek my life to destroy it;
May those be turned back and dishonored
Who delight in my hurt.
15May those be appalled because of their shame
Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”
16May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
May those who love Your salvation continually say,
“The Lord be exalted!”
17But I am afflicted and needy;
May the Lord be mindful of me.
You are my help and my savior;
Do not delay, my God.
