Psalm 40:15

New American Bible - revised edition

May those who seek to destroy my life be shamed and confounded. Turn back in disgrace those who desire my ruin.

See the chapter Copy

May they recoil in disgrace, all who hate Zion.

They open wide their mouths against me. They say, “Aha! Good! Our eyes have seen it!”

Do not let them say in their hearts, “Aha! Our soul!” Do not let them say, “We have devoured that one!”

Put to shame and confound all who relish my misfortune. Clothe with shame and disgrace those who lord it over me.

How suddenly they are devastated; utterly undone by disaster!
