12. because countless evils surround me.My wrongdoings have caught up with me—I can’t see a thing!There’s more of them than hairs on my head—my courage leaves me.
13. Favor me, Lord, and deliver me!Lord, come quickly and help me!
14. Let those who seek my life, who want me dead,be disgraced and put to shame.Let those who want to do me harmbe thoroughly frustrated and humiliated.
15. Let those who say to me, "Yes! Oh, yes!"be destroyed by their shame.
16. But let all who seek youcelebrate and rejoice in you.Let those who love your salvation always say,"The Lord is great!"
