David imploreth God's speedy help. Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

Let † their habitation be desolate; and † let none dwell in their tents.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of † those whom thou hast wounded.

Add ‖ iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

This also shall please the better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

The ‖ humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

For the heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that † moveth therein.

For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein. 

AKE haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste † to help me, O.

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

N thee, O, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

† Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that † lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
