Psalm 40:13-17
New American Standard Bible 1995
13 (A)Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;
Make (B)haste, O Lord, to help me.
14 Let those be (C)ashamed and humiliated together
Who (D)seek my [a]life to destroy it;
Let those be turned back and dishonored
Who delight [b]in my hurt.
15 Let those (E)be [c]appalled because of their shame
Who (F)say to me, “Aha, aha!”
16 (G)Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let those who love Your salvation (H)say continually,
“The Lord be magnified!”
17 Since (I)I am afflicted and needy,
[d](J)Let the Lord be mindful of me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Do not delay, O my God.
