Hurry, O LORD, to Help Me!
(Psalm 40:1–17; Psalm 141:1–10)
1 For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder. Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.
2 Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
3 Let them be turned because of their shame Who say, “Aha! Aha!”
4 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”
5 But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t delay.
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!
2 May those who seek my life
be ashamed and confounded;
may those who wish me harm
be repelled and humiliated.
3 May those who say, “Aha, aha!”
retreat because of their shame.
4 May all who seek You
rejoice and be glad in You;
may those who love Your salvation always say,
“Let God be magnified!”
5 But I am poor and needy;
hurry to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
O LORD, do not delay.
Come Quickly to Help Me, O Lord
(Psalm 141:1-10; Jeremiah 11:18-23; Jeremiah 18:18-23)
1To the Overseer, by David. -- 'To cause to remember.' O God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste.
2Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.
3Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, 'Aha, aha.'
4Let all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, 'God is magnified.'
5And I am poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer art Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!
