Psalms 40:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 40:12

10 ^aI have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;
I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth
From the great assembly.

11 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord;
^aLet Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.

12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me;
^aMy iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;
They are more than the hairs of my head;
Therefore my heart fails me.

13 ^aBe pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;
O Lord, make haste to help me!

14 ^aLet them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion
Who seek to destroy my¹ life;
Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor
Who wish me evil.

15 Let them be ^aconfounded because of their shame,
Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”
