New Century Version

Psalms 40:12-16 New Century Version (NCV)

12. Troubles have surrounded me;there are too many to count.My sins have caught meso that I cannot see a way to escape.I have more sins than hairs on my head,and I have lost my courage.

13. Please, Lord, save me.Hurry, Lord, to help me.

14. People are trying to kill me.Shame them and disgrace them.People want to hurt me.Let them run away in disgrace.

15. People are making fun of me.Let them be shamed into silence.

16. But let those who follow yoube happy and glad.They love you for saving them.May they always say, “Praise the Lord!”
