1 T o the Overseer, by David. -- `To cause to remember.' O God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste.

O God, hurry to take me out of trouble. O Lord, hurry to help me!

2 L et them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.

Let those who want to kill me be ashamed and brought low. Let those who want to hurt me be turned away in shame.

3 L et them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, `Aha, aha.'

Let those who say, “O, O!” be turned back because of their shame.

4 L et all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, `God is magnified.'

Let all who look for You be full of joy and be glad in You. And let those who love Your saving power always say, “Let God be honored.”

5 A nd I poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!

But I am poor and in need. Hurry to me, O God! You are my help and the One Who takes me out of trouble. O Lord, do not wait.
