David wrote this song for the music leader, to ask God to help him.

A prayer for help[a]

70 God, please save me!
    Lord, come quickly to help me!
Stop the people who want to kill me,
    so that they become ashamed and confused.
Chase the people who want to hurt me,
    so that they run away in shame.
When people laugh at me,
    make them ashamed for what they have done.
