English Revised Version

1 min read
1

For 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.

2

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward and brought to dishonour that delight in my hurt.

3

Let them be turned back by reason of their shame that say, Aha, Aha.

4

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5

But I am poor and needy; make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
