New Living Translation (NLT)
Psalm 40
12 For troubles surround me— too many to count! My sins pile up so high I can’t see my way out. They outnumber the hairs on my head. I have lost all courage.
13 Please, LORD, rescue me! Come quickly, LORD, and help me.
14 May those who try to destroy me be humiliated and put to shame. May those who take delight in my trouble be turned back in disgrace.
15 Let them be horrified by their shame, for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”
16 But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “The LORD is great!”
17 As for me, since I am poor and needy, let the Lord keep me in his thoughts. You are my helper and my savior. O my God, do not delay.
Psalm 41
1 Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor! The LORD rescues them when they are in trouble.
2 The LORD protects them and keeps them alive. He gives them prosperity in the land and rescues them from their enemies.
3 The LORD nurses them when they are sick and restores them to health.
4 “O LORD,” I prayed, “have mercy on me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
5 But my enemies say nothing but evil about me. “How soon will he die and be forgotten?” they ask.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
