Hurry, O Lord, to Help Me!
(Psalms 40:1–17; Psalms 141:1–10)
For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance.
70Make haste, O God, to deliver me!
Hurry, O Lord, to help me!
2May those who seek my life
be ashamed and confounded;
may those who wish me harm
be repelled and humiliated.
3May those who say, “Aha, aha!”
retreat because of their shame.
4May all who seek You
rejoice and be glad in You;
may those who love Your salvation always say,
“Let God be magnified!”
5But I am poor and needy;
hurry to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay.
