- Verse 1
- Make haste, O my God, to deliver, I pray,
- O Lord, to my rescue make haste;
- Let those who would harm me be filled with dismay,
- and in their own folly disgraced.
- Verse 2
- Let them be turned back in confusion, O Lord,
- Who in my destruction would joy;
- Let shame and defeat be their only reward
- Who sneers and derision employ.
- Verse 3
- May all those who seek Thee, and make Thee their choice,
- Great gladness and blessedness see;
- May all those who love Thy salvation rejoice
- And constantly magnify Thee.
- Verse 4
- I cry in deep need and Thy help I implore;
- Make haste to the rescue, I pray;
- My Savior Thou art, and my strength evermore,
- No longer Thy coming delay.
