“Make haste, O God, to deliver me.” Psalm 70 (antiphon: v. 4)
O Lord, Do Not Delay
4
May all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you!
May those who love your salvation
say evermore, “God is great!”
70
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!
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
4
May all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you!
May those who love your salvation
say evermore, “God is great!”
COLLECT OF THE DAY
