12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about;
Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;
They are more than the hairs of my head;
And my heart hath [a]failed me.
13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me:
Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.
14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together
That seek after my soul to destroy it:
Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor
That delight in my hurt.

  1. Psalm 40:12 Hebrew forsaken.

12 For troubles(A) without number surround me;
    my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.(B)
They are more than the hairs of my head,(C)
    and my heart fails(D) within me.
13 Be pleased to save me, Lord;
    come quickly, Lord, to help me.(E)

14 May all who want to take my life(F)
    be put to shame and confusion;(G)
may all who desire my ruin(H)
    be turned back in disgrace.
