Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 40 of Psalms. Psalm 40 begins with a testimony of waiting and deliverance: God brought the psalmist out of a pit and established his steps. The response consists not merely in offering sacrifices, but in recognizing that God desires inward obedience expressed through hearing and doing his will. Then the plea for help appears again, showing that past deliverance does not eliminate present need. Praise and dependence remain together.

Laß dir's gefallen, HERR, daß du mich errettest; eile, HERR, mir zu helfen!
Sean avergonzados y confusos a una Los que buscan mi vida para cortarla: Vuelvan atrás y avergüéncense Los que mi mal desean.
Que sean avergonzados y humillados juntos los que buscan destruir mi vida; que retrocedan y queden deshonrados los que desean mi mal.
Que tous ensemble ils soient honteux et confus, Ceux qui en veulent à ma vie pour l'enlever! Qu'ils reculent et rougissent, Ceux qui désirent ma perte!
Quelli che cercano l’anima mia, per farla perire, Sieno confusi, e svergognati tutti quanti; Quelli che prendono piacere nel mio male, Voltino le spalle, e sieno svergognati.
Sejam à uma confundidos e envergonhados os que buscam a minha vida para destruí-la; tornem atrás e confundam-se os que me querem mal.
願那些尋找我、要滅我命的,一同抱愧蒙羞! 願那些喜悅我遭害的,退後受辱!
