Psalms 40:10

8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

9 I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

11 O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.

12 For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
