9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation:lo, I have not refrained my lips,O Lord, thou knowest.
10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation:I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truthfrom the great congregation.
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord:let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about:mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up;they are more than the hairs of mine head:therefore my heart faileth me.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me:O Lord, make haste to help me.
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded togetherthat seek after my soul to destroy it;let them be driven backward and put to shamethat wish me evil.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shamethat say unto me, Aha, aha.
