David Pleads for Quick Rescue
Open in the reader →For the choirmaster. Of David. For remembrance.
1O God, deliver me; O Yahweh, hurry to help me.
2Let those who seek my life be put to shame and humiliated; let those who delight in my harm turn back and be disgraced.
3Let them turn back because of their shame, those who say, “Aha, aha!”
4Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let those who love your salvation say continually, “May God be magnified!”
5But as for me, I am poor and needy; O God, hurry to me. You are my help and my deliverer; O Yahweh, do not delay.
