Psalms 40:16

JoyPraise and worshipSalvation

14 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

15 May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”

17 But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.
