Psalm 40:12-14

International Standard Version

¹²Innumerable evils have surrounded me;
my iniquities have overtaken me so that I cannot see.
They are more in number than the hair on my head,
and my courage^[a] has forsaken me.

¹³Be pleased, Lord, to deliver me;
    Lord, hurry up and help me!
¹⁴May those who seek to destroy my life be ashamed and confounded;
    let them be driven backwards and humiliated,
        particularly those who wish me evil.
