Prayer for Help against Persecutors.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David; for a memorial.

1 O God, hasten to deliver me;
         O LORD, hasten to my help!
2 Let those be ashamed and humiliated
         Who seek my life;
         Let those be turned back and dishonored
         Who delight in my hurt.
3 Let those be turned back because of their shame
         Who say, “Aha, aha!”
4 Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
         And let those who love Your salvation say continually,
         “Let God be magnified.”
5 But I am afflicted and needy;
         Hasten to me, O God!
         You are my help and my deliverer;
         O LORD, do not delay.
