For the Leader. [A Psalm] of David; to make memorial.
—
O God, to deliver me, O LORD, to help me, make haste.
—
Let them be ashamed and abashed That seek after my soul; Let them be turned backward and brought to confusion That delight in my hurt.
—
Let them be turned back by reason of their shame That say: 'Aha, aha.'
—
Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; And let such as love Thy salvation say continually: 'Let God be magnified.'
—
But I am poor and needy; O God, make haste unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, tarry not.
