Majority Standard Bible

1 For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

2 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

3 May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

4 May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

5 But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.

KJV

1 ¶ To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, to bring to remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5 But I [am] poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

1545 Luther's English Bible (LED)

David's plea for help against the enemies.

1 A psalm of David, to be sung in remembrance.

2 make haste, O GOD, to save me, O LORD, to help me!

3 They that desire my soul shall be ashamed and confounded: they that wish me ill shall return and be heard,

4 And they shall be ashamed again, that cry against me: There, there!

5 Let them that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let them that love thy salvation say always, Blessed be God.

6 But I am wretched and poor. God, make haste to me, for you are my helper and savior; my God, do not consume me!

1545 Luther's English Bible (LED)

Machine-translated from Luther's final 1545 German Bible

The LED is an English rendering of Martin Luther's final 1545 German Bible. According to BackToLuther, it was produced by using the DeepL Translator on Luther's German text, then processed, polished, formatted, and hyperlinked for reading, while preserving chapter headings and other notations from orthodox German Lutheran Bibles.
