1For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance.
Make haste, O God, to deliver me!
Hurry, O LORD, to help me!
1For the one directing. Of David. For remembrance. O God, deliver me, O YHWH, may You hurry—to help me!
2May those who seek my life
be ashamed and confounded;
may those who wish me harm
be repelled and humiliated.
2Let them be ashamed and confounded, those seeking my soul; let them be turned back and be disgraced, those taking delight in my harm!
3May those who say, “Aha, aha!”
retreat because of their shame.
3Let them be turned back over the heel of their shame, those saying, “Aha, aha!”
4May all who seek You
rejoice and be glad in You;
may those who love Your salvation always say,
“Let God be magnified!”
4Let all those seeking You rejoice and be glad in You; those loving Your salvation, let them say continually “May God be magnified!”
5But I am poor and needy;
hurry to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
O LORD, do not delay.
5And I am lowly and needy; O God, hurry to me! You are my help and my deliverer, O YHWH—do not delay!
