Psalm 40:13-17
King James Version
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me.
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

Psalm 40:13-17
English Standard Version
13 (A)Be pleased, O Lord, to (B)deliver me!
O Lord, (C)make haste to help me!
14 (D)Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether
who seek to snatch away my life;
let those be (E)turned back and brought to dishonor
who delight in my hurt!
15 Let those be appalled because of their shame
who (F)say to me, “Aha, Aha!”
16 But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation
(G)say continually, “Great is the Lord!”
17 As for me, I am (H)poor and needy,
but (I)the Lord takes thought for me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
do not delay, O my God!
