1(71) By David, [a Psalm sung by] the sons of Jonadab, and the first that were taken captive. O Lord, I have hoped in you: let me never be put to shame.
1Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.
2In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me: incline your ear to me, and save me.
2Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
3Be to me a protecting God, and a strong hold to save me: for you are my fortress and my refuge.
3Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
4Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, from the hand of the transgressor and unjust man.
4Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
5For you are my support, O Lord; O Lord, [you are] my hope from my youth.
5But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.
