10. I have not buried your righteousness deep in my heart.I have been outspoken about your faithfulness and your salvation.I have not hidden your mercy and your truthfrom those assembled for worship.
11. Do not withhold your compassion from me, O Lord.May your mercy and your truth always protect me.
12. Countless evils have surrounded me.My sins have caught up with me so that I can no longer see.They outnumber the hairs on my head.I have lost heart.
13. O Lord, please rescue me!Come quickly to help me, O Lord!
14. Let all those who seek to end my lifebe confused and put to shame.Let those who want my downfallbe turned back and disgraced.
15. Let those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”be stunned by their own shame.
16. Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad because of you.Let those who love your salvation continually say,“The Lord is great!”
17. But I am oppressed and needy.May the Lord think of me.You are my help and my savior.O my God, do not delay!
