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 mebe completely defeated and confused.May those who are happy because of my troublesbe turned back and disgraced.
15 May those who jeer at mebe dismayed by their defeat.
16 May all who come to yoube glad and joyful.May all who are thankful for your salvationalways say, “How great is the Lord!”
17 I am weak and poor, O Lord,but you have not forgotten me.You are my saviour and my God —hurry to my aid!
