Psalms 40:13-17

13Please, Lord, rescue me! Come quickly, Lord, and help me.

14May those who try to destroy me be humiliated and put to shame. May those who take delight in my trouble be turned back in disgrace.

15Let them be horrified by their shame, for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”

16But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “The Lord is great!”

17As for me, since I am poor and needy, let the Lord keep me in his thoughts. You are my helper and my savior. O my God, do not delay.
