| 1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD. | 1God, hurry to rescue me. LORD, hurry to help me! |
| 2Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. | 2Let those who seek to kill me be disgraced and confounded; let those who wish me harm be turned back and humiliated. |
| 3Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. | 3Let those who say, "Aha, aha!" retreat because of their shame. |
| 4Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. | 4Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let those who love your salvation continually say, "God is great!" |
| 5But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying. | 5I am oppressed and needy; hurry to me, God. You are my help and my deliverer; LORD, do not delay. |
