Psalms 40:14

Next

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

Let them be ashamed {H954}{H8799)} and confounded {H2659}{H8799)} together {H3162} that seek {H1245}{H8764)} after my soul {H5315} to destroy {H5595}{H8800)} it; let them be driven {H5472}{H8735)} backward {H268} and put to shame {H3637}{H8735)} that wish {H2655} me evil {H7451}.

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.

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

Let them be put to shame and confounded together That seek after my soul to destroy it: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.
