1 For the leader. By David. As a reminder:
2 God, rescue me!
Adonai, hurry and help me!
3 May those who seek my life
be disgraced and humiliated.
May those who take pleasure in doing me harm
be turned back and put to confusion.
4 May those who jeer, “Aha! Aha!”
withdraw because of their shame.
5 But may all those who seek you
be glad and take joy in you.
May those who love your salvation say always,
“God is great and glorious!”
6 But I am poor and needy;
God, hurry for me.
You are my helper and rescuer;
Adonai, don’t delay!
