- Chapter 70 -

Make haste, O Lord, to help me

(Psalm 40:1-17; Psalm 141:1-10)

Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him.

O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.

Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:

Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: Tis well, tis well.

Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.

But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.

Make haste, O Lord, to help me

(Psalm 40:1-17; Psalm 141:1-10)

Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, LORD.

Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!”

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. LORD, don’t delay.
