Psalm 40:10-12

Good News Translation

¹⁰I have not kept the news of salvation to myself;
I have always spoken of your faithfulness and help.
In the assembly of all your people I have not been silent
about your loyalty and constant love.

¹¹Lord, I know you will never stop being merciful to me.
Your love and loyalty will always keep me safe.

A Prayer for Help^(A)

¹²I am surrounded by many troubles—
    too many to count!
My sins have caught up with me,
    and I can no longer see;
they are more than the hairs of my head,
    and I have lost my courage.
