To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.
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.

V == Ps 40:12 ; 141:1

1 For the leader; of David. For remembrance.

2 Graciously rescue me, God! Come quickly to help me, LORD!

3 Let those who seek my life be confused and put to shame. Let those who desire my ruin turn back in disgrace.

4 Let those who say “Aha!” turn back in their shame.

5 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you, Those who long for your help always say, “God be glorified!”

6 I am miserable and poor. God, come to me quickly! You are my help and deliverer. LORD, do not delay!

David considers himself poor and needy, and urgently calls to God for quick help for deliverance, that the enemies be turned to shame, and the righteous magnify God.
