Psalm 40:12-17

Complete Jewish Bible

^12 (11) Adonai, don’t withhold your mercy from me.
Let your grace and truth preserve me always.
^13 (12) For numberless evils surround me;
my iniquities engulf me — I can’t even see;
there are more of them than hairs on my head,
so that my courage fails me.
^14 (13) Be pleased, Adonai, to rescue me!
Adonai, hurry and help me!
^15 (14) May those who seek to sweep me away
be disgraced and humiliated together.
May those who take pleasure in doing me harm
be turned back and put to confusion.
^16 (15) May those who jeer at me, “Aha! Aha!”
be aghast because of their shame.

^17 (16) But may all those who seek you
be glad and take joy in you.
May those who love your salvation say always,
“Adonai is great and glorious!”
