8. I delight to do Your will, O my God; yes, Your law is within my heart. [Heb. 10:5-9.]
9. I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly [tidings of uprightness and right standing with God]. Behold, I have not restrained my lips, as You know, O Lord.
10. I have not concealed Your righteousness within my heart; I have proclaimed Your faithfulness and Your salvation. I have not hid away Your steadfast love and Your truth from the great assembly. [Acts 20:20, 27.]
11. Withhold not Your tender mercy from me, O Lord; let Your loving-kindness and Your truth continually preserve me!
12. For innumerable evils have compassed me about; my iniquities have taken such hold on me that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed me and forsaken me.
13. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me!
14. Let them be put to shame and confounded together who seek and require my life to destroy it; let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor who wish me evil and delight in my hurt!
