1 Come quickly, LORD, to rescue me,
and hasten to my help, I pray.
2 May all who seek to take my life
be put to shame without delay.
O turn them back in disgrace, LORD,
who in my pain take their delight.
3 Let shame and defeat reward those
who use derision in their fight.
4 May all who seek your name rejoice,
your praise in gratitude record.
May those who love your saving power
say evermore, “Exalt the LORD!”
5 Yet I am poor and needy, LORD;
be quick to hear my urgent plea.
You are my help, my Savior God!
Do not delay; remember me.
