“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.My heart has failed me.”
Psalm 40:12 (WEB)
Context Reading
10I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart.I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation.I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly. 11Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh.Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me. 12For 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.My heart has failed me. 13Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me.Hurry to help me, Yahweh. 14Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it.Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
