Psalms 39:12

But thou, Lord, remove not thy compassion far from me; 1 Thy mercy and thy truth have helped me continually. 1

Updated Brenton Septuagint

In The King James Version

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

In Context

11I have not hidden thy truth within my heart, 1 And I have declared thy salvation; 1 I have not hidden thy mercy and thy truth from the great congregation. 1

13For innumerable evils have encompassed me; 1 My transgressions have taken hold of me, and I could not see; 1 They are multiplied more than the hairs of my head; 1 And my heart has failed me. 1
