(A)I delight to do your will, O my God;
    your law is (B)within my heart.”

I have told the glad news of deliverance[a]
    in (C)the great congregation;
behold, I have not (D)restrained my lips,
    (E)as you know, O Lord.
10 I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart;
    I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;
I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness
    from the great congregation.

11 As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain
    your mercy from me;
your (F)steadfast love and your faithfulness will
    ever preserve me!
12 For evils have (G)encompassed me
    beyond number;
my (H)iniquities have overtaken me,
    and I cannot (I)see;
they are (J)more than the hairs of my head;
    my heart (K)fails me.
