Psalms 40:8-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

8. I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart."

9. I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great congregation; Behold, I will not restrain my lips, O Lord, You know.

10. I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great congregation.

11. You, O Lord, will not withhold Your compassion from me; Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me.

12. For evils beyond number have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see; They are more numerous than the hairs of my head, And my heart has failed me.

13. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; Make haste, O Lord, to help me.

14. Let those be ashamed and humiliated together Who seek my life to destroy it; Let those be turned back and dishonored Who delight in my hurt.
