1.Make haste, O God, me to preserve;
with speed, Lord, succour me.
Let them that for my soul do seek
shamed and confounded be:

2.Let them be turned back, and shamed,
that in my hurt delight.
Turned back be they, Ha, ha! that say,
their shaming to requite.

3.O Lord, in thee let all be glad,
and joy that seek for thee:
Let them who thy salvation love
say still, God praised be.

4.But I both poor and needy am;
come, Lord, and make no stay:
My help thou and deliv'rer art;
O Lord, make no delay.
