I may know how frail I [am].

proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Psalms 40:5

and thy truth continually preserve me.
Psalms 40:12
12 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.
Psalms 40:13
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
