Hurry, O LORD, to Help Me!
(Psalm 40:1–17; Psalm 141:1–10)

For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance.

1Make 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.
