9 I’ve told the good news of your righteousnessin the great assembly.I didn’t hold anything back—as you well know, Lord!
10 I didn’t keep your righteousness only to myself.I declared your faithfulness and your salvation.I didn’t hide your loyal love and trustworthinessfrom the great assembly.
11 So now you, Lord—don’t hold back any of your compassion from me.Let your loyal love and faithfulness always protect me,
12 because countless evils surround me.My wrongdoings have caught up with me—I can’t see a thing!There’s more of them than hairs on my head—my courage leaves me.
13 Favor me, Lord, and deliver me!Lord, come quickly and help me!
14 Let those who seek my life, who want me dead,be disgraced and put to shame.Let those who want to do me harmbe thoroughly frustrated and humiliated.
15 Let those who say to me, "Yes! Oh, yes!"be destroyed by their shame.
