Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Psalm 40:12:

• Chichewa Contempary Chichewa translation, 2002/2016:
  “For countless problems have surrounded me;
  my sins have defeated me, and I cannot be able to see.
  They are numerous more than the hairs of my head,
  and my heart is becoming weak inside me.” (Source: Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero Back Translation)
• Newari:
  “All around me there are innumerable troubles.
  My sins are already so many,
  [that] I no longer can see anything.
  They are more than the hairs on my head.
  My heart has already sunk into a bog.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon:
  “For I am-surrounded by many difficulties/trouble which can- not -be-counted.
  (It) seems that my sins have-enveloped/engulfed me, and I can- not -see.
  My sins (are) more great-in-number than my head-hairs,
  and because of this I have-lost strength.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• Eastern Bru:
  “Now troubles surround me. I can no longer count them all. And my sins have caught up with me. Because of that I can no longer see the road I want to go. Those sins are many more than the hairs of my head. Therefore, my heart is no longer brave.” (Source: Bru Back Translation)
• Laarim:
  “Great suffering is surrounding me, I did not even count,
  my bad matters caught me and I did not even see.
  They are more than the hair of my head
  and my heart be not strong.” (Source: Laarim Back Translation)
• Nyakyusa-Ngonde (back-translation into Swahili):
  “Taabu nyingi zimenizunguka,
  dhambi zangu zimenishika, siioni njia.
  Mabaya yangu mengi kuzidi nywele zangu,
  ndio maana nimeishiwa nguvu.” (Source: Nyakyusa Back Translation)
• English:
  “I have many troubles; so many that I cannot count them.
  My sins are like a flood that has covered me;
  they are so many that I cannot find my way.
  The sins that I have committed are more than the hairs on my head.
  I am very discouraged.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
