Prayer for Relief from Adversaries
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. To bring to remembrance.
Who seek my life;
Let them be turned back and confused
Who desire my hurt.
And let those who love Your salvation say continually,
“Let God be magnified!”
bMake haste to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay.
