Prayer for Help

1 Make haste, O God, to save;
To help me, Lord, make haste;
Ashamed, confounded, they shall be
Who would my life lay waste.

2 They shall be put to shame
That in my hurt delight,
And backward in dishonor turned,
Their mocking to requite.

3 All they that seek Thy face
With joy in Thee abide,
And, loving Thy salvation say,
Let God be magnified.

4 In need am I, and poor;
O God, make haste, I pray;
Thou art my Savior and my help,
O Lord, make no delay.
