9I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great congregation;
         Behold, I will not restrain my lips,
         O LORD, You know.

10I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;
         I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
         I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great congregation.

11You, O LORD, will not withhold Your compassion from me;
         Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me.

12For 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.

13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me;
         Make haste, O LORD, to help me.

14Let 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.

15Let those be appalled because of their shame
         Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”

16Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
         Let those who love Your salvation say continually,
         “The LORD be magnified!”

17Since I am afflicted and needy,
         Let the Lord be mindful of me.
         You are my help and my deliverer;
         Do not delay, O my God.
