1 M ake haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.

O God, hasten to deliver me; O Lord, hasten to my help!

2 L et them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

Let those be ashamed and humiliated Who seek my life; Let those be turned back and dishonored Who delight in my hurt.

3 L et them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

Let those be turned back because of their shame Who say, “Aha, aha!”

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

Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And let those who love Your salvation say continually, “Let God be magnified.”

5 B ut I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.

But I am afflicted and needy; Hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay.
