Psalm 40:12

Thanksgiving And A Cry For Help

¹¹
Do not withhold Your compassion and tender mercy from me, O Lord;
Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me.
¹² 
For innumerable evils have encompassed me;
My sins have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see.
They are more numerous than the hairs of my head,
And my heart has failed me. ¹³
Be pleased, O Lord, to save me;
O Lord, make haste to help me.
