A Prayer for Help[a] (A)

70 Save me, O God!
    Lord, help me now!
May those who try to kill me
    be defeated and confused.
May those who are happy because of my troubles
    be turned back and disgraced.
May those who make fun of me
    be dismayed by their defeat.

May all who come to you
    be glad and joyful.
May all who are thankful for your salvation
    always say, “How great is God!”

I am weak and poor;
    come to me quickly, O God.
You are my savior and my Lord
    hurry to my aid!
