13 Be pleased to save me, Lord;

come quickly, Lord, to help me.

14 May all who want to take my life

be put to shame and confusion;

may all who desire my ruin

be turned back in disgrace.

15 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”

be appalled at their own shame.

16 But may all who seek you

rejoice and be glad in you;

may those who long for your saving help always say,

“The Lord is great!”

17 But as for me, I am poor and needy;

may the Lord think of me.

You are my help and my deliverer;

you are my God, do not delay.

13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me:

O Lord, make haste to help me.

14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it;

Let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame

That say unto me, Aha, aha.

16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:

Let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.

17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me:

Thou art my help and my deliverer;

Make no tarrying, O my God.

13 Please, Lord, rescue me!

Come quickly, Lord, and help me.

14 May those who try to destroy me

be humiliated and put to shame.

May those who take delight in my trouble

be turned back in disgrace.

15 Let them be horrified by their shame,

for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”

16 But may all who search for you

be filled with joy and gladness in you.

May those who love your salvation

repeatedly shout, “The Lord is great!”

17 As for me, since I am poor and needy,

let the Lord keep me in his thoughts.

You are my helper and my savior.

O my God, do not delay.

13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;

O Lord, make haste to help me!

14 Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion

Who seek to destroy my life;

Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor

Who wish me evil.

15 Let them be confounded because of their shame,

Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”

16 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;

Let such as love Your salvation say continually,

“The Lord be magnified!”

17 But I am poor and needy;

Yet the Lord thinks upon me.

You are my help and my deliverer;

Do not delay, O my God.

13 Please, Lord, save me.

Hurry, Lord, to help me.

14 People are trying to kill me.

Shame them and disgrace them.

People want to hurt me.

Let them run away in disgrace.

15 People are making fun of me.

Let them be shamed into silence.

16 But let those who follow you

be happy and glad.

They love you for saving them.

May they always say, “Praise the Lord!”

17 Lord, because I am poor and helpless,

please remember me.

You are my helper and savior.

My God, do not wait.

13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me:

Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

14 Let them be put to shame and confounded together

That seek after my soul to destroy it:

Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor

That delight in my hurt.

15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame

That say unto me, Aha, aha.

16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:

Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified.

17 But I am poor and needy;

Yet the Lord thinketh upon me:

Thou art my help and my deliverer;

Make no tarrying, O my God.

13 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me; Jehovah, make haste to my help. 14 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity; 15 Let them be desolate, because of their shame, that say unto me, Aha! Aha! 16 Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee; let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified! 17 But I am afflicted and needy: the Lord thinketh upon me. Thou art my help and my deliverer: my God, make no delay.

13 O Lord, please rescue me! 

Come quickly to help me, O Lord!

14 Let all those who seek to end my life 

be confused and put to shame. 

Let those who want my downfall 

be turned back and disgraced. 

15 Let those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” 

be stunned by their own shame. 

16 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad because of you. 

Let those who love your salvation continually say, 

“The Lord is great!” 

17 But I am oppressed and needy. 

May the Lord think of me. 

You are my help and my savior. 

O my God, do not delay! 

13 Lord, be pleased to deliver me;

hurry to help me, Lord.

14 Let those who seek to take my life

be disgraced and confounded.

Let those who wish me harm

be driven back and humiliated.

15 Let those who say to me, “Aha, aha!”

be horrified because of their shame.

16 Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;

let those who love Your salvation continually say,

“The Lord is great!”

17 I am afflicted and needy;

the Lord thinks of me.

You are my helper and my deliverer;

my God, do not delay.

13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;

O Lord, make haste to help me.

14 Let all those be put to shame and confusion

who seek to snatch away my life;

let those be turned back and brought to dishonor

who desire my hurt.

15 Let those be appalled because of their shame

who say to me, “Aha, Aha!”

16 But may all who seek you

rejoice and be glad in you;

may those who love your salvation

say continually, “Great is the Lord!”

17 As for me, I am poor and needy,

but the Lord takes thought for me.

You are my help and my deliverer;

do not delay, O my God.

13 Be pleased, O Yahweh, to deliver me.

O Yahweh, hurry to help me.

14 Let them be shamed and abashed altogether

who seek to take away my life.

Let them be repulsed and humiliated

who desire my harm.

15 Let them be appalled because of their shame,

those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”

16 Let them rejoice and be glad in you,

all those who seek you.

Let them say continually, “Yahweh is great!”

—those who love your salvation.

17 But I am poor and needy.

Let my Lord consider me.

You are my help and my deliverer.

O my God, do not delay.

13 Lord, please save me.

Lord, come quickly to help me.

14 Let all those who are trying to kill me be put to shame.

Let them not be honored.

Let all those who want to destroy me

be turned back in shame.

15 Some people make fun of me.

Let them be shocked when their plans fail.

16 But let all those who look to you

be joyful and glad because of what you have done.

Let those who love you because you save them always say,

“May the Lord be honored!”

17 But I am poor and needy.

May the Lord be concerned about me.

You are the One who helps me and saves me.

My God, please don’t wait any longer.

13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;
