“Let all who seek you
Rejoice and be glad in you!
Let those who love your salvation
Say evermore.
‘God is great!’
But I am poor.
I am needy.
Hasten to me!
O God!
You are my help!
You are my deliverer!
Yahweh!
Do not delay!”
Again almost word for word from parts of Psalm 40, this psalm ends with a plea for Yahweh to not delay. Yahweh was the answer for those who sought a life with rejoicing and gladness. Yahweh has a steadfast love for his followers since they continually say, “Great is Yahweh.” This is somewhat like the Islamic “Allah is great.” As for David, he admits that that he is poor and needy. However, he puts his trust in Yahweh, who will help deliver him from various problems. All he asks is that there be no delay.
