| 1Make haste, O God, to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help me! | 1For the director of music. Of David. A petition. Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, LORD, to help me. |
| 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! | 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. |
| 3Let them turn back because of their shame who say, “Aha, Aha!” | 3May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" turn back because of their shame. |
| 4May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, “God is great!” | 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 I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay! | 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. |
