9 I have proclaimed righteousness in the great congregation;I have not held back my lips,O Lord, You know.
10 I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truthfrom the great congregation.
11 Do not withhold Your compassion from me, O Lord;may Your lovingkindness and Your truth always guard me.
12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me;my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;they are more than the hairs of my headso that my heart fails me.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;O Lord, make haste to help me.
14 May those seeking to snatch away my lifebe ashamed and confounded together;may those who desire my harmbe driven backward and dishonored.
15 May those who say to me “Aha, aha!”be appalled on account of their shame.
