Haste thee, O God II by Adrian Batten — Lyrics
Haste Thee, O God to deliver me, make haste to help me.
Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul.
Let them for their reward be soon brought to shame, that cry over me: "There, there, there."

About Haste thee, O God II
This stirring anthem by Adrian Batten is suitable for a variety of occasions, particularly during times of petition or penitence. The text, drawn from the Psalms, opens with an urgent plea for divine intervention and protection against enemies. The composer skilfully sets the contrasting emotions of the text, moving from the distress of those who seek the singer's soul to the exultation of those who delight in God's salvation. Batten's setting for mixed voices, available for STBB/STBarB and SATB, offers a powerful and dynamic musical expression of faith and deliverance.
