2 Let them be put to shame and confounded who seek after my soul. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
3 Let them be turned back because of their shame who say, Aha, aha.
4 Let all those who 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 to me, O God. Thou are my help and my deliverer, O Jehovah. Delay thou not.
