14 May all who seek to
take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who
desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
15 May those who say to me, "Aha!
Aha!"
be appalled at their own shame.
16 But may all who seek you rejoice and be
glad in you;
may those who love your salvation always say,
"The LORD be exalted!"
17 Yet I am poor and needy; may the Lord
think of me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
O my God, do not delay.
