Psalm 40:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² Troubles have gathered around me.
    There are too many to count.
My sins have caught me.
    I cannot see a way to escape.
I have more sins than hairs on my head.
    I have lost my courage.
¹³ Please, Lord, save me.
    Hurry, Lord, to help me.
¹⁴ People are trying to kill me.
    Shame them and disgrace them.
People want to hurt me.
    Let them run away in disgrace.
