New International Version NIV
New International Reader's Version NIRV
1 Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, LORD, to help me.
1
God, hurry and save me. Lord, come quickly and help me.
2 May those who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
2
Let those who are trying to kill me be put to shame. Let them not be honored. Let all those who want to destroy me be turned back in shame.
3 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” turn back because of their shame.
3
Some people make fun of me. Let them be turned back when their plans fail.
4 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, “The LORD is great!”
4
But let all those who look to you be joyful and glad because of what you have done. Let those who love you because you save them always say, "May God be honored!"
5 But as for me, I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; LORD, do not delay.
5
But I am poor and needy. God, come quickly to me. You are the One who helps me and saves me. Lord, please don't wait any longer.
