Psalm 40:7-16 NWT
. . .In view of that, I said: "Here I have come, In the roll of the book it being written about me. 8 To do your will, O my God, I have delighted, And your law is within my inward parts. 9 I have told the good news of righteousness in the big congregation. Look! My lips I do not restrain. O Jehovah () , you yourself know that well. 10 Your righteousness I have not covered over within my heart. Your faithfulness and your salvation I have declared. I have not hidden your loving-kindness and your trueness in the big congregation." 11 You yourself, O Jehovah (), do not restrain your pity from me. Let your loving-kindness and your trueness themselves constantly safeguard me. 12 For calamities encircled me until there was no numbering of them. More errors of mine overtook me than I was able to see; They became more numerous than the hairs of my head, And my own heart left me. 13 Be pleased, O Jehovah (), to deliver me. O Jehovah (), to my assistance do make haste. 14 May those be ashamed and abashed all together Who are seeking my soul to sweep it away. May those turn back and be humiliated who are delighting in my calamity. 15 Let those stare in amazement in consequence of their shame Who are saying to me: "Aha! Aha!" 16 Let those exult and rejoice in you, All those who are seeking you. Let those say constantly: "May Jehovah () be magnified," Those who are loving salvation by you.
Psalms 40:7-16 GNB and so I answered, "Here I am; your instructions for me are in the book of the Law. (8) How I love to do your will, my God! I keep your teaching in my heart." (9) In the assembly of all your people, LORD (), I told the good news that you save us. You know that I will never stop telling it. (10) I have not kept the news of salvation to myself; I have always spoken of your faithfulness and help. In the assembly of all your people I have not been silent about your loyalty and constant love. (11) LORD (), I know you will never stop being merciful to me. Your love and loyalty will always keep me safe. (12) I am surrounded by many troubles--- too many to count! My sins have caught up with me, and I can no longer see; they are more than the hairs of my head, and I have lost my courage. (13) Save me, LORD ()! Help me now! (14) May those who try to kill me be completely defeated and confused. May those who are happy because of my troubles be turned back and disgraced. (15) May those who make fun of me be dismayed by their defeat. (16) May all who come to you be glad and joyful. May all who are thankful for your salvation always say, "How great is the LORD ()!"
Psalms 40:7-16 MKJV
(7) Then I said, Lo, I come, in the volume of the Book it is written of Me;
(8) I delight to do Your will, O My God; and Your Law is within My heart.
(9) I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; lo, I have not kept back My lips, O Jehovah (), You know.
(10) I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not hidden Your loving-kindness and Your truth from the great congregation.
(11) Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Jehovah (); let Your loving-kindness and Your truth always watch over me.
(12) For evils without number have hemmed me in; my sins have taken hold on me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails me.
(13) Be pleased, O Jehovah (), to deliver me; O Jehovah (), make haste to help me.
(14) Let them be ashamed and humbled together, those who seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame, those who wish me evil.
(15) Let them be desolate as a reward for their shame, those who say to me, Aha, aha!
(16) Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You, and the ones loving your salvation always say, Let Jehovah () be magnified.

(9) I have announced righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I will not restrain My lips; O Jehovah () You know.
(10) I have not concealed Your righteousness in My heart; I speak Your faithfulness and Your salvation. I have not hidden Your loving-kindness and Your truth from the great assembly.
(11) Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Jehovah (); let Your lovingkindness and Your truth always watch over me.
(12) For evils have surrounded me until there is no number; my iniquities have taken hold on me and I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails me.
(13) Be pleased to deliver me, O Jehovah (); hasten to my help.
(14) Let those seeking my soul to destroy it, be ashamed and humbled together; let those delighting in my evil be driven back and disgraced.
