| 1To the Chief Musician. [i]A Psalm[/i] of David. To bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Make haste to help me, O LORD! | 1For the music director; by David; written to get God's attention. O God, please be willing to rescue me! O LORD, hurry and help me! |
| 2Let them be ashamed and confounded Who seek my life; Let them be turned back and confused Who desire my hurt. | 2May those who are trying to take my life be embarrassed and ashamed! May those who want to harm me be turned back and ashamed! |
| 3Let them be turned back because of their shame, Who say, “Aha, aha!” | 3May those who say, "Aha! Aha!" be driven back and disgraced! |
| 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!” | 4May all those who seek you be happy and rejoice in you! May those who love to experience your deliverance say continually, "May God be praised!" |
| 5But I am poor and needy; Make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay. | 5I am oppressed and needy! O God, hurry to me! You are my helper and my deliverer! O LORD, do not delay! |
