New Living Translation NLT
1 God! Please hurry to my rescue! God, come quickly to my side!
1
Please, God, rescue me! Come quickly, LORD, and help me.
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
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 Give them a taste of their own medicine, those gossips off clucking their tongues.
3
Let them be horrified by their shame, for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”
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
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'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 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.
