Lament and Prayer for Deliverance

Psalms 40:11-17
11
ADONAI, don't withhold your mercy from me. Let your grace and truth preserve me always.
12
For numberless evils surround me; my iniquities engulf me - I can't even see; there are more of them than hairs on my head, so that my courage fails me.
13
Be pleased, ADONAI, to rescue me! ADONAI, hurry and help me!
14
May those who seek to sweep me away be disgraced and humiliated together. May those who take pleasure in doing me harm be turned back and put to confusion.
15
May those who jeer at me, "Aha! Aha!" be aghast because of their shame.
16
But may all those who seek you be glad and take joy in you. May those who love your salvation say always, "ADONAI is great and glorious!"
17
But I am poor and needy; may Adonai think of me. You are my helper and rescuer; my God, don't delay!
