¹Please, God, rescue me!

Come quickly, Lord , and help me.

²May those who try to kill me

be humiliated and put to shame.

May those who take delight in my trouble

be turned back in disgrace.

³Let them be horrified by their shame,

for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”

⁴But may all who search for you

be filled with joy and gladness in you.

May those who love your salvation

repeatedly shout, “God is great!”

⁵But as for me, I am poor and needy;

please hurry to my aid, O God.

You are my helper and my savior;

O Lord , do not delay.
