Psalm 40:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² Troubles have surrounded me.
    They are too many to count!
My sins have caught me,
    and I cannot escape them.
They are more than the hairs on my head.
    I have lost my courage.
¹³ Please, Lord, rescue me!
    Lord, hurry and help me!
¹⁴ People are trying to kill me.
    Please disappoint them.
    Humiliate them completely!
They wanted to hurt me.
    Make them run away in shame!
