Psalm 40:14-16
EasyEnglish Bible
14 Chase away the people who want to kill me!
Cause them to become ashamed and confused.
Chase away the people who want to hurt me,
so that they run away in shame.
15 When people laugh at me,
make them sorry for what they have done.
16 Lord, may those who come to you be very happy,
because you have saved them.
They should never stop saying,
‘Praise the Lord!’

be put to shame and confusion;(B)
may all who desire my ruin(C)

15 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”(D)
be appalled at their own shame.
16 But may all who seek you(E)
rejoice and be glad(F) in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
“The Lord is great!”(G)

14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
