*O LORD, Do Not Delay*

To the choirmaster. Of David, for the memorial offering.

\[1\] Make haste, O God, to deliver me!

O LORD, make haste to help me!

\[2\] Let them be put to shame and confusion

who seek my life!

Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor

who delight in my hurt!

\[3\] Let them turn back because of their shame

who say, “Aha, Aha!”

\[4\] May all who seek you

rejoice and be glad in you!

May those who love your salvation

say evermore, “God is great!”

\[5\] But I am poor and needy;

hasten to me, O God!

You are my help and my deliverer;

O LORD, do not delay!

*Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent*

\[1\] In you, O LORD, do I take refuge;

let me never be put to shame!

\[2\] In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;

incline your ear to me, and save me!

\[3\] Be to me a rock of refuge,

to which I may continually come;

you have given the command to save me,

for you are my rock and my fortress.

\[4\] Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,

from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.

\[5\] For you, O Lord, are my hope,

my trust, O LORD, from my youth.

\[6\] Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;

you are he who took me from my mother’s womb.

My praise is continually of you.

\[7\] I have been as a portent to many,

but you are my strong refuge.

\[8\] My mouth is filled with your praise,

and with your glory all the day.

\[9\] Do not cast me off in the time of old age;

forsake me not when my strength is spent.

\[10\] For my enemies speak concerning me;

those who watch for my life consult together

\[11\] and say, “God has forsaken him;

pursue and seize him,

for there is none to deliver him.”

\[12\] O God, be not far from me;

O my God, make haste to help me!

\[13\] May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;

with scorn and disgrace may they be covered

who seek my hurt.

\[14\] But I will hope continually

and will praise you yet more and more.

\[15\] My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,

of your deeds of salvation all the day,

for their number is past my knowledge.

\[16\] With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come;

I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

\[17\] O God, from my youth you have taught me,

and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.

\[18\] So even to old age and gray hairs,

O God, do not forsake me,

until I proclaim your might to another generation,

your power to all those to come.

\[19\] Your righteousness, O God,

reaches the high heavens.

You who have done great things,

O God, who is like you?

\[20\] You who have made me see many troubles and calamities

will revive me again;

from the depths of the earth

you will bring me up again.

\[21\] You will increase my greatness

and comfort me again.

\[22\] I will also praise you with the harp

for your faithfulness, O my God;

I will sing praises to you with the lyre,

O Holy One of Israel.

\[23\] My lips will shout for joy,

when I sing praises to you;

my soul also, which you have redeemed.

\[24\] And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long,

for they have been put to shame and disappointed

who sought to do me hurt. (ESV)
