2O God, come quickly to deliver me, Adonai, to help me. 3May they be put to shame and disgrace who seek my life. May they be turned back in humiliation who delight in my hurt. May those who say, “Aha! Aha!” be turned away because of their shame. 5But may all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You. May those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified.” 6But I am poor and needy— God, come quickly to me. You are my help and my deliverer— Adonai, do not delay.
