New King James Version

Psalms 40:7-13 New King James Version (NKJV)

7. Then I said, “Behold, I come;In the scroll of the book it is written of me.

8. I delight to do Your will, O my God,And Your law is within my heart.”

9. I have proclaimed the good news of righteousnessIn the great assembly;Indeed, I do not restrain my lips,O Lord, You Yourself know.

10. I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truthFrom the great assembly.

11. Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord;Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.

12. For innumerable evils have surrounded me;My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;They are more than the hairs of my head;Therefore my heart fails me.

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