Make haste, O Lord, to help me
(Psalm 40:1-17; Psalm 141:1-10)
1
Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!
2
May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.
3
May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.
4
May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”
5
But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
