• Psalm 40:13-17
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 13 Please be willing, O Jehovah, to save me.+

      O Jehovah, hurry to help me.+

      14 May all those seeking to take my life*

      Be put to shame and disgraced.

      May those who delight in my calamity

      Retreat in humiliation.

      15 May those who are saying to me: “Aha! Aha!”

      Be appalled because of their own shame.

      16 But let those seeking you+

      Exult and rejoice in you.+

      May those who love your acts of salvation always say:

      “May Jehovah be magnified.”+

      17 But I am helpless and poor;

      May Jehovah pay attention to me.

      You are my helper and my rescuer;+

      My God, do not delay.+
