Psalms 40:11-17

11Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah;Let thy lovingkindness and thy truthH571 continually preserve me.12For innumerable evils have compassed me about;Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;They are moreH4480 than the hairs of my head;And my heart hath failed me.13Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me:Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.14Let them be put to shame and confounded togetherThat seek after my soul to destroy it:Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonorThat delightH7521 in my hurt.15Let them be desolate by reason of their shameH954That say unto me, Aha, aha.16Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:Let such as love thy salvation sayH559 continually,Jehovah be magnified.17But I am poor and needy;Yetthe Lord thinketh upon me:Thou art my help and my deliverer;MakeH8055 no tarrying, O my God.
