Haste thee, O God, to deliver me: make haste to help me, O Lord.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward and put to confusion that wish me evil.

3

Let them for their reward be soon brought to shame: that cry over me, There, there.

But let all those that seek thee be joyful and glad in thee: and let all such as delight in thy salvation say alway, The Lord be praised.

As for me, I am poor and in misery: haste thee unto me, O God.

6

Uss my er-coonee as my er-kionnee: ny lhig shaghey foddey, O Hiarn.

Thou art my helper and my redeemer: O Lord, make no long tarrying.
