① 1* 2Be pleased, O God, to rescue me! Make haste to help me!
3Let those who seek my life be put to shame and disgrace. Let those who want me destroyed be turned back in confusion.
4Let those who say, “Aha, Aha!” to me feel consternation.
5May all who seek you be glad and rejoice in you. May all who love your saving power say evermore, “Great is the Lord!”
6But I am afflicted and needy; come to me quickly, O God, my help and my Savior. O God, do not delay!
- This psalm is almost a repetition of Psalm 40:14-18; here, Lord is replaced by God. This is due to the fact that before they were included in the Bible, the psalms circulated in different collections.
