Make haste, O Lord, to help me
(Psalm 40:1-17; Psalm 141:1-10)
1
Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him.
2
O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.
3
Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:
4
Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: Tis well, tis well.
5
Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
6
But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
