A Call for Help

1God, come to my rescue.

LORD, hurry to help me.

2May those who seek to kill me be publicly humiliated.

May those who take pleasure in my harm

be turned back in humiliation.

3May those who say “Aha! Aha!”

be turned back because of their shameful deeds.a

4Let those who seek you greatly rejoice in you.

Let those who love your deliverance say,

“May God be continuously exalted.”

5As for me, I am poor and needy.

God, come quickly to me.

You are my helper and my deliverer.

LORD, please do not delay.
