Make ^(B)haste, O Lord, to help me.

Let those be ^(C)ashamed and humiliated together
Who ^(D)seek my ^(a)life to destroy it;
Let those be turned back and dishonored
Who delight ^(b)in my hurt.

Let those ^(E)be ^(c)appalled because of their shame
Who ^(F)say to me, “Aha, aha!”

^(G)Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let those who love Your salvation ^(H)say continually,
“The Lord be magnified!”

Since ^(I)I am afflicted and needy,
^(d)^(J)Let the Lord be mindful of me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Do not delay, O my God.
