Read in context

Psalms 40:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

15 May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.
