Psalm 40:11-13

The Voice

¹¹ Please, Eternal One, don’t hold back
    Your kind ways from me.
I need Your strong love and truth
    to stand watch over me and keep me from harm.
¹² Right now I can’t see because I am surrounded by troubles;
    my sins and shortcomings have caught up to me,
    so I am swimming in darkness.
Like the hairs on my head, there are too many to count,
    so my heart deserts me.

¹³ O Eternal One, please rescue me.
    O Eternal One, hurry; I need Your help.
