About this psalm

Five verses, and nearly the same words that close Psalm 40. There is no scene setting and no argument. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD. It is a prayer for when there is no time to compose one, which is presumably why it was kept separately.

My psalms

One verse at a time, slowly

1MAKE HASTE, O GOD, TO DELIVER ME;MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, O LORD.2Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul:let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.3Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.4Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.5But I am poor and needy:make haste unto me, O God:thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
