New Testament

Psalms 40:11-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. Do not withhold Your compassion from me, O Lord;may Your lovingkindness and Your truth always guard me.

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 headso that my heart fails me.

13. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;O Lord, make haste to help me.

14. May those seeking to snatch away my lifebe ashamed and confounded together;may those who desire my harmbe driven backward and dishonored.

15. May those who say to me “Aha, aha!”be appalled on account of their shame.

16. May all those who seek Yourejoice and be glad in You;may those who love Your salvation say continually,“The Lord is magnified.”

17. But I am poor and needy;yet the Lord thinks about me.You are my help and my deliverer;do not delay, O my God.
