Psalms 40:8-14

⁸that I should do thy will; my God, I would also to do it; and thy law in the midst of mine heart.

⁹I told thy rightfulness or rightwise-ness in a great church; lo! I shall not refrain my lips, Lord, thou knewest.

¹⁰I hid not thy rightfulness or right-wiseness in mine heart; I said thy truth and thine health. I hid not thy mercy, and thy truth, from a much council.

¹¹But thou, Lord, make not far thy merciful doings from me; thy mercy and truth evermore take me up.

¹²For why evils, of which is no number, encompassed me; my wicked-nesses have taken me, and I might not, that I should see. Those or They be multiplied above the hairs of mine head; and mine heart forsook me.

¹³Lord, please it to thee, that thou deliver me; Lord, behold thou to help me.

¹⁴Be they shamed, and ashamed together; that seek my life, to take away it. Be they turned aback, and be they shamed or ashamed; that will or desire evils to me.
