1  [For the choir director; by David; to be kept in mind.] Come quickly to rescue me, O God! Come quickly to help me, O LORD!

2 Let those who seek my life be confused and put to shame. Let those who want my downfall be turned back and disgraced.

3 Let those who say, "Aha! Aha!" be turned back because of their own shame.

4 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad because of you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, "God is great!"

5 But I am oppressed and needy. O God, come to me quickly. You are my help and my savior. O LORD, do not delay!
