Psalms 40:7-14 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. Then I said, “See, I have come;it is written about me in the volume of the scroll.

8. I delight to do Your will, my God; Your instruction lives within me.”

9. I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly;see, I do not keep my mouth closed —as You know, Lord.

10. I did not hide Your righteousness in my heart;I spoke about Your faithfulness and salvation;I did not conceal Your constant love and truthfrom the great assembly.

11. Lord, do not withhold Your compassion from me;Your constant love and truth will always guard me.

12. For troubles without number have surrounded me;my sins have overtaken me; I am unable to see.They are more than the hairs of my head,and my courage leaves me.

13. Lord, be pleased to deliver me;hurry to help me, Lord.

14. Let those who seek to take my lifebe disgraced and confounded.Let those who wish me harmbe driven back and humiliated.
