1Be pleased, O God, to deliver me.

O Lord, make haste to help me!*

2Let those be put to shame and confusion

who seek my life.

Let those be turned back and brought to dishonor

who desire to hurt me.*

3Let those who say, “Aha, Aha!”

turn back because of their shame.*

4Let all who seek you

rejoice and be glad in you.

Let those who love your salvation

say evermore, “God is great!”

5But I am poor and needy;

hasten to me, O God!

You are my help and my deliverer;

O Lord, do not delay!*
