¹ For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah, That His servants may remain there and possess it.

² The descendants of His servants will inherit it, And those who love His name will dwell in it.

³ To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O God, come quickly to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me!

⁴ Let those be ashamed and humiliated Who seek my life; Let them be turned back and humiliated Who delight in my hurt.

⁵ Let them be turned back because of their shame and disgrace Who say, "Aha, aha!"

⁶ May all those who seek You [as life's first priority] rejoice and be glad in You; May those who love Your salvation say continually, "Let God be magnified!"

⁷ But I am afflicted and needy; Come quickly to me, O God! You are my help and my rescuer; O LORD, do not delay.

⁸ In you, O LORD, I have put my trust and confidently taken refuge; Let me never be[1] put to shame.

⁹ In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; Incline Your ear to me and save me.

¹⁰ Be to me a rock of refuge and a sheltering stronghold to which I may continually come; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.

¹¹ Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked (godless), From the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man.

¹² For You are my hope; O Lord GOD, You are my trust and the source of my confidence from my youth.
