| 1 | For the director of music. Of David. A petition. Hasten, O God, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me. | |
| 2 | May those who seek 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. | |
| 4 | But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, "Let God be exalted!" | |
| 5 | Yet I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay. | |
