Read in context

Psalms 40:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

11 O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.

12 For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.

13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.

14 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.
