New International Version NIV
Revised Standard Version RSV
1 Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, LORD, to help me.
1
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, for the memorial offering. Be pleased, O God, to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to 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 them be put to shame and confusion who seek my life! Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who desire my hurt!
3 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” turn back because of their shame.
3
Let them be appalled because of their shame who say, "Aha, Aha!"
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
May all who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee! May those who love thy salvation say evermore, "God is great!"
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; hasten to me, O God! Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not tarry!
