O Lord, Do Not Delay
To the choirmaster. Of David, #Ps. 38, title; [1 Chr. 16:4]for the memorial offering.
1 # For ver. 1-5, see Ps. 40:13-17 Make haste, O God, to deliver me!
O Lord, make haste to help me!
2Let 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!
3Let them turn back because of their shame
who say, “Aha, Aha!”
4May all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you!
May those who love your salvation
say evermore, “God is great!”
5But I am poor and needy;
#
Ps. 141:1
hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay!

To the director: A song of David to help people remember.
1Please, God, rescue me!
Lord, hurry and help me!
2People are trying to kill me.
Please disappoint them.
Humiliate them!
They want to hurt me.
Make them run away in shame.
3May those who make fun of me
be too embarrassed to speak.
4But may those who come to you
be happy and rejoice.
May those who love being saved by you
always be able to say, “Praise God!”#70:4 Praise God Literally, “God is great” or “May God be magnified.”
5I am only a poor, helpless man.
God, please hurry to me.
You are my helper, the one who can save me.
Lord, don’t be too late!
