I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth
From the great assembly.
aLet Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve 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.
Who seek to destroy my1 life;
Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor
Who wish me evil.
| << Psalms 40:11 | Psalms 40:13 >> |
