Psalm 40:13-17

Modern English Version

¹⁴ May those seeking to snatch away my life
    be ashamed and confounded together;
may those who desire my harm
    be driven backward and dishonored.
¹⁵ May those who say to me “Aha, aha!”
    be appalled on account of their shame.
¹⁶ May all those who seek You
    rejoice and be glad in You;
may those who love Your salvation say continually,
    “The Lord is magnified.”

¹⁷ But I am poor and needy;
    yet the Lord thinks about me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
    do not delay, O my God.
