To the chief Musician, of David, for invocation.

For the conductor, [a psalm] of David, to invoke [(the name of the L rd)].

Make haste, O God, to deliver me; to help me, O Lord.

O G d, [make haste] to save me; O L rd, hasten to my help.

Let them be ashamed and confounded who seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, who desire my hurt.

Let those who seek my soul be shamed and abashed. Let those who desire my ill recoil in shame.

Let them be turned back because of their shame who say, Aha, aha.

Let them be turned back in the [very] circuit of their shaming [of me, measure for measure,] those who exult [in my afflictions, shouting:] "He'ach! He'ach!"

Let all those who seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee: and let such as love Thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

Let all those who seek You rejoice and regale over You; and let those who love Your salvation always say [(when they are saved)]: "Let G d be exalted!"

But I am poor and needy: make haste to me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; delay not, O Lord.

And I am poor and indigent, O G d, make haste to [help] me. You are my help and my saviour. O L rd, do not delay!
