Psalms

For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance.

1Make haste, O God, to deliver me!Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

2May those who seek my lifebe ashamed and confounded;may those who wish me harmbe repelled and humiliated.

3May those who say, “Aha, aha!”retreat because of their shame.

4May all who seek Yourejoice and be glad in You;may those who love Your salvation always say,“Let God be magnified!”

5But I am poor and needy;hurry to me, O God.You are my help and my deliverer;O LORD, do not delay.

For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder.

1Hurry, God, to deliver me.Come quickly to help me, LORD.

2Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul.Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

3Let them be turned because of their shamewho say, “Aha! Aha!”

4Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

5But I am poor and needy.Come to me quickly, God.You are my help and my deliverer.LORD, don’t delay.
