Psalm 40:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 Lord, may you not withhold
your compassion from me;
May your mercy and your faithfulness
continually protect me.(A)
B
13 But evils surround me
until they cannot be counted.
My sins overtake me,
so that I can no longer see.
They are more numerous than the hairs of my head;
my courage fails me.(B)
14 Lord, graciously rescue me!(C)
Come quickly to help me, Lord!
