Psalms 40:12

Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me : thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.

Douay-Rheims 1899

In The King James Version

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

In Context

13For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head : and my heart hath forsaken me.
