Psalms 40:9-13

I have proclaimed good news of righteousness in the great congregation; Behold, I will not restrain my lips, Lord, You know.

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

You, Lord, will not withhold Your compassion from me; Your mercy and Your truth will continually watch over me.

For evils beyond number have surrounded me; My guilty deeds 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.

Be pleased, Lord, to rescue me; Hurry, Lord, to help me.
