1 Brenton For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me. Draw nigh, O God, to my help. BSB BSB: For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

5 Brenton But I am poor and needy; O God, help me: thou art my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not. BSB BSB: But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
