bCf. Ps. 40.14–18. Hasten, O God, to save me;O ETERNAL One, to aid me!
Let those who seek my lifebe frustrated and disgraced;let those who wish me harm,fall back in shame.
Let those who say, “Aha! Aha!”turn back because of their frustration.
But let all who seek You be glad and rejoice in You;let those who are eager for Your deliverance always say,“Extolled be God!”
But I am poor and needy;O God, hasten to me!You are my help and my rescuer;O ETERNAL One, do not delay.
