7. Then said I, Lo, I am come; in the roll of the book it is written of me:
8. I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my heart.
9. I have published righteousness in the great congregation; lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.
10. I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
11. Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
12. For innumerable evils have compassed me about, mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head, and my heart hath failed me.
13. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: make haste to help me, O Lord.
14. Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it: let them be turned backward and brought to dishonour that delight in my hurt.
