O Lord, Do Not Delay
To the choirmaster. Of David, afor the memorial offering.
bMake haste, O God, to deliver me!
O Lord, make haste to help me!
2 Let them be put to shame and confusion
who seek my life!
Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor
who delight in my hurt!
3 Let them turn back because of their shame
who say, “Aha, Aha!”
4 May all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you!
May those who love your salvation
say evermore, “God is great!”
5 But I am poor and needy;
ahasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay!
