“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. falleth: Heb. forsaketh”
Psalms 40:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 40:12
The shift to lament reveals David's honest assessment: 'innumerable evils have compassed me about.' His 'iniquities' (avonot) have 'taken hold' of him, suggesting consequences of sin that entangle and bind. The phrase 'they are more than the hairs of mine head' echoes verse 5's abundance language but now applied to troubles, creating a striking contrast.
