New Century Version

Psalms 40:7-13 New Century Version (NCV)

7. Then I said, “Look, I have come.It is written about me in the book.

8. My God, I want to do what you want.Your teachings are in my heart.”

9. I will tell about your goodness in the great meeting of your people.Lord, you know my lips are not silent.

10. I do not hide your goodness in my heart;I speak about your loyalty and salvation.I do not hide your love and truthfrom the people in the great meeting.

11. Lord, do not hold back your mercy from me;let your love and truth always protect me.

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.
