Ps.40.12

When troubles ganged up on me, a mob of sins past counting, I was so swamped by guilt I couldn't see my way clear. More guilt in my heart than hair on my head, so heavy the guilt that my heart gave out.

Ps.40.12

For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.

Ps.40.12

For innumerable evils have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; Therefore my heart fails me.

Soften up, GOD, and intervene; hurry and get me some help,

Ps.40.13

Be pleased, O LORD, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me.

So those who are trying to kidnap my soul will be embarrassed and lose face, So anyone who gets a kick out of making me miserable will be heckled and disgraced,

Ps.40.14

May all who seek to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion Who seek to destroy my life; Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor Who wish me evil.

Let them be horrified by their shame, for they said, "Aha! We've got him now!"

Ps.40.16

But all who are hunting for you--oh, let them sing and be happy. Let those who know what you're all about tell the world you're great and not quitting.

Ps.40.16

But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, "The LORD be exalted!"
