Psalm 40:13–17

13  gBe pleased, O Lord, to deliver me!

O Lord, hmake haste to help me!

14  iLet those be put to shame and disappointed altogether

who seek to snatch away my life;

let those be turned back and brought to dishonor

who delight in my hurt!

15  Let those be appalled because of their shame

who say to me, j“Aha, Aha!”

16  But may all who seek you

rejoice and be glad in you;

may those who love your salvation

say continually, “Great is the Lord!”

17  As for me, I am poor and needy,

but kthe Lord takes thought for me.

You are my help and my deliverer;

do not delay, O my God!
