For the choir director, for David, for petitioning

O God to my rescue
Yahweh to my help make haste

May they be ashamed and may they be abashed, those who seek after my soul
may they be pushed backwards and may they be humiliated,
those who delight in my misery. May they turn on the consequences of their shame,
those who keep saying, “Aha, aha”.

Let them exult and let them rejoice in You, all those who seek after You
And let them say continually, “Exalt God!”,
those who love your salvation

But I am afflicted and needy, O God make haste to me,
my help and my security are you
Yahweh, do not hang back
