King James Version KJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
1
Please, God, rescue me! Come quickly, LORD, and help me.
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 humiliated and put to shame. May those who take delight in my trouble be turned back in disgrace.
3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
3
Let them be horrified by their shame, for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”
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
But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “God is great!”
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
But as for me, I am poor and needy; please hurry to my aid, O God. You are my helper and my savior; O LORD, do not delay.
