 Hasten, O God, to save me; 
 come quickly, Lord, to help me.

    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. 
  
  
  
  3
  
  
  
    May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" 
 turn back because of their shame.

    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!"

    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.
