1 ¶ Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.

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

Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

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

Let them be turned 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 saving health say continually, Let God be magnified.

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

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

But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t delay.
