Psalm 40:14-16
The Voice
Psalm 40:14-16
The Voice
14 May those who are trying to destroy me
be humiliated and ashamed instead;
May those who want to ruin my reputation
be cut off and embarrassed.
15 May those who try to catch me off guard,
those who look at me and say, “Aha, we’ve trapped you,”
be caught in their own shame instead.
16 But may all who look for You
discover true joy and happiness in You;
May those who cherish how You save them
always say, “O Eternal One, You are great and are first in our hearts.”
Psalm 40:14-16
New International Version

14 May all who want to take my life(A)
be put to shame and confusion;(B)
may all who desire my ruin(C)
be turned back in disgrace.
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)

Psalm 40:14-16
King James Version
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.
