King James Version KJV
1 God! Please hurry to my rescue! God, come quickly to my side!
1
Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
2 Those who are out to get me - let them fall all over themselves. Those who relish my downfall - send them down a blind alley.
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.
3 Give them a taste of their own medicine, those gossips off clucking their tongues.
3
Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
4 Let those on the hunt for you sing and celebrate. Let all who love your saving way say over and over, "God is mighty!"
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.
5 But I've lost it. I'm wasted. God - quickly, quickly! Quick to my side, quick to my rescue! God, don't lose a minute.
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.
