אֱלֹהִים לְהַצִּילֵנִי יְהֹוָה לְעֶזְרָתִי חוּשָׁה׃

Hasten, O God, to save me; O ETERNAL One, to aid me!

3

יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי יִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר וְיִכָּלְמוּ חֲפֵצֵי רָעָתִי׃

Let those who seek my life be frustrated and disgraced; let those who wish me harm, fall back in shame.

יָשׁוּבוּ עַל־עֵקֶב בׇּשְׁתָּם הָאֹמְרִים הֶאָח הֶאָח׃

Let those who say, “Aha! Aha!” turn back because of their frustration.

5

יָשִׂישׂוּ וְיִשְׂמְחוּ בְּךָ כׇּל־מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ וְיֹאמְרוּ תָמִיד יִגְדַּל אֱלֹהִים אֹהֲבֵי יְשׁוּעָתֶךָ׃

But let all who seek You be glad and rejoice in You; let those who are eager for Your deliverance always say, “Extolled be God!”

6

וַאֲנִי עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אֱלֹהִים חוּשָׁה־לִּי עֶזְרִי וּמְפַלְטִי אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אַל־תְּאַחַר׃ {פ}

But I am poor and needy; O God, hasten to me! You are my help and my rescuer; O ETERNAL One, do not delay.
