O Lord, Do Not Delay

To the choirmaster. Of David, wfor the memorial offering.

1  xMake haste, O God, to deliver me!

O Lord, ymake haste to help me!


Psalm 70:2–5

2  zLet 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, a“Aha, Aha!”

4  May all who seek you

rejoice and be bglad in you!

May those who love your salvation

say evermore, “God is great!”

5  But cI am poor and needy;

hasten to me, O God!

You are my help and my deliverer;

O Lord, do not delay!
