1Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, Lord, to help me.2May those who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.3May those who say to me, ‘Aha! Aha!’ turn back because of their shame.4But 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!’5But 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.
1To the choirmaster. Of David, for the memorial offering. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! O Lord, make haste to help me! (1Ch 16:4; Ps 38:1; Ps 40:13)2Let them be put to shame and confusion who seek my life! Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt!3Let them turn back because of their shame who say, “Aha, Aha!”4May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, “God is great!”5But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay! (Ps 141:1)
