| 1For the music director; by David; written to get God's attention. O God, please be willing to rescue me! O LORD, hurry and help me! | 1Make haste, O God, to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help me! |
| 2May those who are trying to take my life be embarrassed and ashamed! May those who want to harm me be turned back and ashamed! | 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! |
| 3May those who say, "Aha! Aha!" be driven back and disgraced! | 3Let them turn back because of their shame who say, “Aha, Aha!” |
| 4May all those who seek you be happy and rejoice in you! May those who love to experience your deliverance say continually, "May God be praised!" | 4May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, “God is great!” |
| 5I am oppressed and needy! O God, hurry to me! You are my helper and my deliverer! O LORD, do not delay! | 5But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay! |
