10 When I sing of your righteousnessin a great assembly,See, I do not restrain my lips;as you, Lord, know.
11 I do not conceal your righteousnesswithin my heart;I speak of your loyalty and your salvation.I do not hide your mercy or faithfulness from a great assembly.
12 Lord, may you not withholdyour compassion from me;May your mercy and your faithfulnesscontinually protect me.
13 But evils surround meuntil they cannot be counted.My sins overtake me,so that I can no longer see.They are more numerous than the hairs of my head;my courage fails me.
14 Lord, graciously rescue me!Come quickly to help me, Lord!
15 May those who seek to destroy my lifebe shamed and confounded.Turn back in disgracethose who desire my ruin.
16 Let those who say to me “Aha!”Be made desolate on account of their shame.
