0To the 1chief Musician, A Psalm of David, 2to bring to remembrance.

1 See the first annotation at Psalm 4 in the title.

2 See Psalm 38 in the title.

1MAKEa3haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

a Psalm 40:13, etc.

3 Compare this psalm with Psalm 40 from the 13th verse to the end, where we find almost the same words. See the annotations there.

2Letb them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

bPsalm 35:4, 26; 71:13.

3Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

4Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
