Text:Protection against Personal Enemies

131. Protection against Personal Enemies

1 In haste, O God, attend my call,
Nor hear my cries in vain;
Oh let thy speed prevent my fall,
And still my hope sustain.

2 When foes insidious wound my name,
And tempt my soul astray,
Then let them fall with lasting shame,
To their own plots a prey.

3 While all that love thy name rejoice,
And glory in thy word,
In thy salvation raise their voice,
And magnify the Lord.

4 O thou my help in time of need,
Behold my sore dismay;
In pity hasten to my aid,
Nor let thy grace delay.
