NET Bible | New Living Translation |
1For the music director; by David; written to get God's attention. O God, please be willing to rescue me! O LORD, hurry and help me! | 1Please, God, rescue me! Come quickly, LORD, and help me. |
2May those who are trying to take my life be embarrassed and ashamed! May those who want to harm me be turned back and ashamed! | 2May those who try to kill me be humiliated and put to shame. May those who take delight in my trouble be turned back in disgrace. |
3May those who say, "Aha! Aha!" be driven back and disgraced! | 3Let them be horrified by their shame, for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!” |
4May all those who seek you be happy and rejoice in you! May those who love to experience your deliverance say continually, "May God be praised!" | 4But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “God is great!” |
5I am oppressed and needy! O God, hurry to me! You are my helper and my deliverer! O LORD, do not delay! | 5But as for me, I am poor and needy; please hurry to my aid, O God. You are my helper and my savior; O LORD, do not delay. |
