| New International Version | King James Bible |
| 1For the director of music. Of David. A petition. Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, LORD, to help me. | 1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD. |
| 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. | 2Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. |
| 3May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" turn back because of their shame. | 3Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. |
| 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!" | 4Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. |
| 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. | 5But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying. |
