Psalm 40:13-17

New American Standard Bible

^13 (A)Be pleased, Lord, to rescue me;
^(B)Hurry, Lord, to help me.
¹⁴ May those be ^(C)ashamed and humiliated together
Who ^(D)seek my ^[a]life to destroy it;
May those be turned back and dishonored
Who delight ^[b]in my hurt.
¹⁵ May those ^(E)be ^[c]appalled because of their shame
Who ^(F)say to me, “Aha, aha!”
^16 (G)May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
May those who love Your salvation continually ^(H)say,
“The Lord be exalted!”
¹⁷ But ^(I)I am afflicted and needy;
^(J)May the Lord be mindful of me.
You are my help and my savior;
Do not delay, my God.
