13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me;
hurry, O LORD, to help me.
14May those who seek my life
be ashamed and confounded;
may those who wish me harm
be repelled and humiliated.
15May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!”
be appalled at their own shame.
16May all who seek You
rejoice and be glad in You;
may those who love Your salvation
always say, “The LORD be magnified!”
17But I am poor and needy;
may the Lord think of me.
You are my helper and deliverer;
O my God, do not delay.
— Psalm 40:13-17
