1 Vir die musiekleier. 'n Psalm van Dawid, by die gedenkoffer.

2 o God, maak tog gou om my te red, o HERE, om my te help!

3 Laat hulle wat my lewe soek, beskaamd staan en rooi van skaamte word; laat hulle wat behae het in my ongeluk, agteruitwyk en in die skande kom.

4 Laat hulle wat sê: Ha, ha! teruggaan vanweë hul beskaming.

5 Laat in U vrolik en bly wees almal wat U soek; en laat die liefhebbers van u heil altyddeur sê: Groot is God! [ (Psalms 70:6) Maar ek is ellendig en behoeftig: o God, kom tog gou na my! U is my hulp en my redder; HERE, vertoef tog nie! ]

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

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.

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.

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