Make haste, O Lord, to help me

(Psalm 40:1-17; Psalm 141:1-10)
1
Unto the end. A Psalm of David, in remembrance that the Lord had saved him.
2
O God, reach out to help me. O Lord, hasten to assist me.
3
May those who seek my soul be confounded and awed.
4
May those who wish evils upon me be turned back and blush with shame. May they be turned away immediately, blushing with shame, who say to me: “Well, well.”(a)
5
Let all who seek you exult and rejoice in you, and let those who love your salvation forever say: “The Lord be magnified.”
6
I am truly destitute and poor. O God, assist me. You are my helper and my deliverer. O Lord, do not delay.
