Listen in the reader

Deliver me, O God; To help me, Lord, make hast. Shame, and Confusion, be their Lot, Who seek my Soul to waste. Defeat, and put to Rout, All that desire my Hurt. Be Disappointment their Reward, Who make my Grief their Sport. Who seek Thee, let rejoice, In Thee be satisfy'd; Who thy Salvation love, still say, "The Lord be magnify'd. I'm poor, distress'd, O God, Make haste to me, I pray; My Help, and my Deliv'rer, thou, O Lord, make no Delay.
