Prayer for Relief from Adversaries

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. To bring to remembrance.

1Make haste, O God, to deliver me!
Make haste to help me, O Lord!

2Let them be ashamed and confounded
Who seek my life;
Let them be [a]turned back and confused
Who desire my hurt.
3Let them be turned back because of their shame,
Who say, [b]“Aha, aha!”

4Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
And let those who love Your salvation say continually,
“Let God be magnified!”

5But I am poor and needy;
Make haste to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay.
