1 Draw near, O God, to my help.

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.

3 Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.

4 Let all that seek you exult and be glad in you: and let those that love your salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5 But I am poor and needy; O God, help me: you are my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.
