Psalm 40:13-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹³ O Lord, please rescue me!
Come quickly to help me, O Lord! ^[a]
14 Let all those who seek to end my life
be confused and put to shame.
Let those who want my downfall
be turned back and disgraced.
¹⁵ Let those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
be stunned by their own shame.
¹⁶ Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad because of you.
Let those who love your salvation continually say,
“The Lord is great!”

¹⁷ But I am oppressed and needy.
May the Lord think of me.
You are my help and my savior.
O my God, do not delay!
