Psalms 40:14 in Context — Psalms 40
12 Porque me han cercado males hasta no [haber] cuento: hanme comprendido mis maldades, y no puedo levantar la vista: hanse aumentado más que los cabellos de mi cabeza, y mi corazón me falta.
13 Quieras, oh Jehová, librarme; Jehová, apresúrate á socorrerme.
14 Sean avergonzados y confusos á una los que buscan mi vida para cortarla: vuelvan atrás y avergüéncense los que mi mal desean.
15 Sean asolados en pago de su afrenta los que me dicen: ¡Ea, ea!
16 Gócense y alégrense en ti todos los que te buscan; y digan siempre los que aman tu salud: Jehová sea ensalzado.
