Psalms 40:12

For evil [plural] has surrounded me,
more than I can count.
My debts (missteps, sins) have overtaken me,
and I cannot see;
they are more than the hairs of my head,
my heart fails me (my courage leaves me).
[The word evil is in the plural. In the immediate context, it refers to debts. The Hebrew word avon means "to stray from the path." It describes an action that violates God's law, but also the guilt that the misstep entails. Since the psalm has messianic undertones, there is nothing to prevent it from being applied to Jesus' sinless life. Since wickedness is in the plural, it is not only guilt/sin that surrounds him, but also threatening external enemies, see verse 15.]
