To the director: A song of David to help people remember. 
 1 Please, God, rescue me! 
LORD, hurry and help me! 
 2 People are trying to kill me. 
Please disappoint them. 
Humiliate them! 
They want to hurt me. 
Make them run away in shame. 
 3 May those who make fun of me 
be too embarrassed to speak. 
 4 But may those who come to you 
be happy and rejoice. 
May those who love being saved by you 
always be able to say, “Praise God!”* Praise God Literally, “God is great” or “May God be magnified.” 
 5 I am only a poor, helpless man. 
God, please hurry to me. 
You are my helper, the one who can save me. 
LORD, don’t be too late!
