¹  Hasten, O God, to save me;
       come quickly, LORD, to help me.

    ² May those who seek my life
       be put to shame and confusion;
       may all who desire my ruin
       be turned back in disgrace.

    ³ May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!"
       turn back because of their shame.

    ⁴ But 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!"

    ⁵ But 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.
