Prayer for Help Against Persecutors

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David; to 1 bring to remembrance.


[1]	MAKE haste, O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.
[2]	Let them be put to shame and confounded That seek after my soul: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.
[3]	Let them be turned back by 2 reason of their shame That say, Aha, aha.
[4]	Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
[5]	But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, make no tarrying.
