King James Version KJV
Good News Translation GNT
1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
1
Save me, O God! Lord, help me now!
2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
2
May those who try to kill me be defeated and confused. May those who are happy because of my troubles be turned back and disgraced.
3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
3
May those who make fun of me be dismayed by their defeat.
4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
4
May all who come to you be glad and joyful. May all who are thankful for your salvation always say, "How great is God!"
5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
5
I am weak and poor; come to me quickly, O God. You are my savior and my Lord - hurry to my aid!
