New International Version | International Standard Version |
1For the director of music. Of David. A petition. Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, LORD, to help me. | 1God, come to my rescue. LORD, hurry to help me. |
2May those who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. | 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 to me, "Aha! Aha!" turn back because of their shame. | 3May those who say "Aha! Aha!" be turned back because of their shameful deeds. |
4But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, "The LORD is great!" | 4Let those who seek you greatly rejoice in you. Let those who love your deliverance say, "May God be continuously exalted." |
5But as for me, I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; LORD, do not delay. | 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. |
