Psalm 40:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ People are trying to kill me.
    Please disappoint them.
    Humiliate them completely!
They wanted to hurt me.
    Make them run away in shame!
¹⁵ May those who make fun of me
    be too embarrassed to speak!
¹⁶ But may those who come to you be happy and rejoice.
    May those who love being saved by you always be able to say, “Praise the Lord!”^[a]
