1Please, God, rescue me!Come quickly, LORD, and help me.

2May those who try to kill mebe humiliated and put to shame.May those who take delight in my troublebe turned back in disgrace.

3Let them be horrified by their shame,for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”

4But may all who search for yoube filled with joy and gladness in you.May those who love your salvationrepeatedly shout, “God is great!”

5But as for me, I am poor and needy;please hurry to my aid, O God.You are my helper and my savior;O LORD, do not delay.
