Psalm 40:12-14

Revised Standard Version

¹²For evils have encompassed me
    without number;
my iniquities have overtaken me,
    till I cannot see;
they are more than the hairs of my head;
    my heart fails me.

¹³Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me!
    O Lord, make haste to help me!
¹⁴Let them be put to shame and confusion altogether
    who seek to snatch away my life;
let them be turned back and brought to dishonor
    who desire my hurt!
