In context
9I desired to do thy will, O my God, And thy law in the midst of my heart.
10I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; Lo! I will not refrain my lips; O Lord, thou knowest my righteousness.
— Psalms 39:11 —
12But thou, Lord, remove not thy compassion far from me; Thy mercy and thy truth have helped me continually.
13For innumerable evils have encompassed me; My transgressions have taken hold of me, and I could not see; They are multiplied more than the hairs of my head; And my heart has failed me.
