The Book of Psalms

For the chief musician. A psalm of David; to bring to remembrance. Save me, God! Yahweh, come quickly and help me.

Let those who try to take my life be ashamed and humiliated; let them be turned back and brought to dishonor, those who take pleasure in my pain.

Let them be turned back because of their shame, those who say, “Aha, aha.”

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let those who love your salvation always say, “May God be praised.”

But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, God; you are my help and you rescue me. Yahweh, do not delay.

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

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

Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!”

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

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