Psalms 70

1 Hasten, O God, to deliver me. Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

2 Let them be put to shame and confounded who seek after my soul. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

3 Let them be turned back because of their shame who say, Aha, aha.

May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

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

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

5 But I am poor and needy. Make haste to me, O God. Thou are my help and my deliverer, O Jehovah. Delay thou not.

But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
