A Call for Deliverance
For the choir director. Of David. To bring remembrance.(A)
70 God, hurry to rescue me.
Lord, hurry to help me!(B)
2 Let those who seek to kill me
be disgraced and confounded;
let those who wish me harm
be turned back and humiliated.
3 Let those who say, ‘Aha, aha! ’
retreat because of their shame.(C)
4 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;
let those who love your salvation

hurry to me, God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Lord, do not delay.(E)
