A. 1  Make haste, O God, to deliver me;
make haste to help me, O Yahweh.

B. 2  Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul:
let them be turned backward, and put to confusion,
that desire my hurt.
3  Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame
that say, Aha, aha.

B’. 4  Let all those that seek thee
rejoice and be glad in thee:
and let such as love thy salvation say continually,
Let God be magnified.

A’.  5  But I am poor and needy:
make haste unto me, O God:
thou art my help and my deliverer;
O Yahweh, make no tarrying.
