11 As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain

your mercy from me;

your steadfast love and your faithfulness will

ever preserve me!

12 For evils have encompassed me

beyond number;

my iniquities have overtaken me,

and I cannot see;

they are more than the hairs of my head;

my heart fails me.

13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me!

O Lord, make haste to help me!

14 Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether

who seek to snatch away my life;

let those be turned back and brought to dishonor

who delight in my hurt!

15 Let those be appalled because of their shame

who say to me, “Aha, Aha!”

16 But may all who seek you

rejoice and be glad in you;

may those who love your salvation

say continually, “Great is the Lord!”

11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord:

Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about:

Mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up;

They are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me:

O Lord, make haste to help me.

14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it;

Let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame

That say unto me, Aha, aha.

16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:

Let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.

11 Lord, don’t hold back your tender mercies from me.

Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me.

12 For troubles surround me—

too many to count!

My sins pile up so high

I can’t see my way out.

They outnumber the hairs on my head.

I have lost all courage.

13 Please, Lord, rescue me!

Come quickly, Lord, and help me.

14 May those who try to destroy me

be humiliated and put to shame.

May those who take delight in my trouble

be turned back in disgrace.

15 Let them be horrified by their shame,

for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”

16 But may all who search for you

be filled with joy and gladness in you.

May those who love your salvation

repeatedly shout, “The Lord is great!”

11 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord;

Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.

12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me;

My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;

They are more than the hairs of my head;

Therefore my heart fails me.

13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;

O Lord, make haste to help me!

14 Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion

Who seek to destroy my life;

Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor

Who wish me evil.

15 Let them be confounded because of their shame,

Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”

16 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;

Let such as love Your salvation say continually,

“The Lord be magnified!”

11 Lord, do not hold back your mercy from me;

let your love and truth always protect me.

12 Troubles have surrounded me;

there are too many to count.

My sins have caught me

so that I cannot see a way to escape.

I have more sins than hairs on my head,

and I have lost my courage.

13 Please, Lord, save me.

Hurry, Lord, to help me.

14 People are trying to kill me.

Shame them and disgrace them.

People want to hurt me.

Let them run away in disgrace.

15 People are making fun of me.

Let them be shamed into silence.

16 But let those who follow you

be happy and glad.

They love you for saving them.

May they always say, “Praise the Lord!”

11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah;

Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about;

Mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;

They are more than the hairs of my head;

And my heart hath failed me.

13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me:

Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together

That seek after my soul to destroy it:

Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor

That delight in my hurt.

15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame

That say unto me, Aha, aha.

16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:

Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified.

11 Withhold not thou, Jehovah, thy tender mercies from me; let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me. 12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head: and my heart hath failed me. 13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me; Jehovah, make haste to my help. 14 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity; 15 Let them be desolate, because of their shame, that say unto me, Aha! Aha! 16 Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee; let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified!

11 Do not withhold your compassion from me, O Lord. 

May your mercy and your truth always protect me. 

12 Countless evils have surrounded me. 

My sins have caught up with me so that I can no longer see. 

They outnumber the hairs on my head. 

I have lost heart. 

13 O Lord, please rescue me! 

Come quickly to help me, O Lord!

14 Let all those who seek to end my life 

be confused and put to shame. 

Let those who want my downfall 

be turned back and disgraced. 

15 Let those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” 

be stunned by their own shame. 

16 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad because of you. 

Let those who love your salvation continually say, 

“The Lord is great!” 

11 Lord, do not withhold Your compassion from me;

Your constant love and truth will always guard me.

12 For troubles without number have surrounded me;

my sins have overtaken me; I am unable to see.

They are more than the hairs of my head,

and my courage leaves me.

13 Lord, be pleased to deliver me;

hurry to help me, Lord.

14 Let those who seek to take my life

be disgraced and confounded.

Let those who wish me harm

be driven back and humiliated.

15 Let those who say to me, “Aha, aha!”

be horrified because of their shame.

16 Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;

let those who love Your salvation continually say,

“The Lord is great!”

11 Do not, O Lord, withhold

your mercy from me;

let your steadfast love and your faithfulness

keep me safe forever.

12 For evils have encompassed me

without number;

my iniquities have overtaken me,

until I cannot see;

they are more than the hairs of my head,

and my heart fails me.

13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;

O Lord, make haste to help me.

14 Let all those be put to shame and confusion

who seek to snatch away my life;

let those be turned back and brought to dishonor

who desire my hurt.

15 Let those be appalled because of their shame

who say to me, “Aha, Aha!”

16 But may all who seek you

rejoice and be glad in you;

may those who love your salvation

say continually, “Great is the Lord!”

11 As for you, O Yahweh, do not withhold your mercies from me.

Let your loyal love and your faithfulness

continually preserve me.

12 For evils without number have encompassed me.

My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see.

They are more than the hairs of my head,

and my heart fails me.

13 Be pleased, O Yahweh, to deliver me.

O Yahweh, hurry to help me.

14 Let them be shamed and abashed altogether

who seek to take away my life.

Let them be repulsed and humiliated

who desire my harm.

15 Let them be appalled because of their shame,

those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”

16 Let them rejoice and be glad in you,

all those who seek you.

Let them say continually, “Yahweh is great!”

—those who love your salvation.

11 Lord, don’t hold back your mercy from me.

May your love and truth always keep me safe.

12 There are more troubles all around me than I can count.

My sins have caught up with me, and I can’t see any longer.

My sins are more than the hairs of my head.

I have lost all hope.

13 Lord, please save me.

Lord, come quickly to help me.

14 Let all those who are trying to kill me be put to shame.

Let them not be honored.

Let all those who want to destroy me

be turned back in shame.

15 Some people make fun of me.

Let them be shocked when their plans fail.

16 But let all those who look to you

be joyful and glad because of what you have done.

Let those who love you because you save them always say,

“May the Lord be honored!”

11 You, O Lord, will not withhold Your compassion from me;

Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me.

12 For evils beyond number have surrounded me;

My iniquities 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 deliver me;

Make haste, O Lord, to help me.

14 Let those be ashamed and humiliated together

Who seek my life to destroy it;

Let those be turned back and dishonored

Who delight in my hurt.

Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”

16 Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;

Let those who love Your salvation say continually,

“The Lord be magnified!”
