O Yahweh, Do Not Delay
For the choir director. Of David. To bring to remembrance.
aO God, hasten to deliver me;
O Yahweh, hasten to my help!
2 aLet those be ashamed and humiliated
Who seek my life;
Let those be turned back and dishonored
Who delight in evil against me.
3 aLet those turn back because of their shame
Who say, “Aha, aha!”
4 Let those be joyful and glad in You
All who seek You
And let them say continually,
“Let God be magnified,”
Those who love Your salvation.
5 But aI am afflicted and needy;
bHasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my protector;
O Yahweh, do not delay.
