11Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.
12Take not away your gentle mercies from me, O Lord; let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever.
13For unnumbered evils are round about me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I am bent down with their weight; they are more than the hairs of my head, my strength is gone because of them.
14Be pleased, O Lord, to take me out of danger; O Lord, come quickly and give me help.
15Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble.
16Let those who say to me, Aha, aha! be surprised because of their shame.
17Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May the Lord be great.
