1A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab, and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion:
1Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, LORD.
2Deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.
2Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
3Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my firmament and my refuge.
3Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!”
4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.
4Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”
5For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth;
5But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. LORD, don’t delay.
6By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother’s womb thou art my protector. Of thee shall I continually sing:
