A Call for Deliverance

For the choir director. Davidic. To bring remembrance.a

1God, deliver me.

Hurry to help me, LORD!b

2Let those who seek my life

be disgraced and confounded;

let those who wish me harm

be driven back and humiliated.

3Let those who say, “Aha, aha! ”

retreat because of their shame.c

4Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;

let those who love Your salvation

continually say, “God is great! ”d

5I am afflicted and needy;

hurry to me, God.

You are my help and my deliverer;

LORD, do not delay.e
