Psalms 40:9-16 Good News Bible (GNB)

9. In the assembly of all your people, Lord,I told the good news that you save us.You know that I will never stop telling it.

10. I 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 silentabout your loyalty and constant love.

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

12. I 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.

13. Save me, Lord! Help me now!

14. May those who try to kill mebe completely defeated and confused.May those who are happy because of my troublesbe turned back and disgraced.

15. May those who jeer at mebe dismayed by their defeat.

16. May all who come to yoube glad and joyful.May all who are thankful for your salvationalways say, “How great is the Lord!”
