1 Hasten, O God, to save me; 1 come quickly, Lord, to help me.
2 May those who seek my life 2 be put to shame and confusion; 2 may all who desire my ruin 2 be turned back in disgrace.
3 May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" 3 turn back because of their shame.
4 But may all who seek you 4 rejoice and be glad in you; 4 may those who long for your saving help always say, 4 "The Lord is great!"
5 But as for me, I am poor and needy; 5 come quickly to me, O God. 5 You are my help and my deliverer; 5 Lord, do not delay.
