8. so I said, “See; I comewith an inscribed scroll written upon me.
9. I delight to do your will, my God;your law is in my inner being!”
10. When I sing of your righteousnessin a great assembly,See, I do not restrain my lips;as you, Lord, know.
11. I do not conceal your righteousnesswithin my heart;I speak of your loyalty and your salvation.I do not hide your mercy or faithfulness from a great assembly.
12. Lord, may you not withholdyour compassion from me;May your mercy and your faithfulnesscontinually protect me.
13. But evils surround meuntil they cannot be counted.My sins overtake me,so that I can no longer see.They are more numerous than the hairs of my head;my courage fails me.
