1 For the leader. By David. As a reminder: God, rescue me! ADONAI, hurry and help me!
1
<To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory.> Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.
2 May those who seek my life be disgraced and humiliated. May those who take pleasure in doing me harm be turned back and put to confusion.
2
Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.
3 May those who jeer, "Aha! Aha!"withdraw because of their shame.
3
Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.
4 But may all those who seek you be glad and take joy in you. May those who love your salvation say always, "God is great and glorious!"
4
Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.
5 But I am poor and needy; God, hurry for me. You are my helper and rescuer; ADONAI, don't delay!
5
But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.
