Revised Standard Version RSV
Good News Translation GNT
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!
1
Save me, O God! Lord, help me now!
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!
2
May those who try to kill me be defeated and confused. May those who are happy because of my troubles be turned back and disgraced.
3 Let them be appalled because of their shame who say, "Aha, Aha!"
3
May those who make fun of me be dismayed by their defeat.
4 May all who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee! May those who love thy salvation say evermore, "God is great!"
4
May all who come to you be glad and joyful. May all who are thankful for your salvation always say, "How great is God!"
5 But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not tarry!
5
I am weak and poor; come to me quickly, O God. You are my savior and my Lord - hurry to my aid!
