Psalms 40:14 Context
12For innumerable euils haue compassed me about, mine iniquities haue taken hold vpon me, so that I am not able to looke vp: they are moe then the haires of mine head, therefore my heart faileth me. 13Be pleased, O Lord, to deliuer me: O Lord, make haste to helpe me. 14Let them be ashamed and confounded together, that seeke after my soule to destroy it: let them be driuen backward, and put to shame, that wish me euill. 15Let them be desolate, for a reward on their shame, that say vnto me, Aha, aha! 16Let all those that seeke thee, reioyce and bee glad in thee: let such as loue thy saluation, say continually, The Lord be magnified.
