Psalm 40:11-16
11 You, O Yahweh, will not withhold Your compassion from me;
12 For evils beyond number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see; they are more numerous than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed me.
13 Be pleased, O Yahweh, to deliver me; make haste, O Yahweh, to help me.
14 Let those be ashamed and humiliated together who seek my life to sweep it away; let those be turned back and dishonored who delight in evil against me.
15 Let those be appalled because of their shame who say to me, “Aha, aha!”
16 Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; let those who love Your salvation say continually, “Yahweh be magnified!”
