The Book of Psalms

Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.

Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, LORD.

Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!”

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. LORD, don’t delay.
